Uptown Southfield Rd. at 11 1 /2 Mile • 559-3900 Meese Orders PLO Mission Closed Washington (JTA) — Attor- ney General Edwin Meese In, acting in compliance with legislation adopted by Con- gress, ordered the Palestine Liberation Organization's ob- server mission at the United Nations to close by March 21 or the Justice Department will seek a court injunction to force it do so. A written order to that effect was delivered to Zehdi Terzi, the PLO representative at the United Nations. The decision was an- nounced last week by Charles Cooper, assistant attorney general in the Justice Depart- ment's office of legal counsel. The U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar was informed of the decision by Herbert Okun, acting U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations. The announcement comes shortly after the U.N. General Assembly voted 143 to 1 to condemn any U.S. clos- ing of the mission as a viola- tion of the 1947 U.N. Head- quarters Agreement and call- ing for international arbitra- tion by a three-member tri- bunal. The United States has repeatedly said it will not ac- cept arbitration of the matter. The controversy surround- ing the PLO mission stems from the State Department's 1988 Authorization Bill, adopted by Congress and signed by Reagan, which orders the mission closed by March 21. While Congress and the ad- ministration agreed on the issue of closing the PLO's Washington office, the State Department opposed closing the U.N. mission because of possible U.S. obligations under the 1947 treaty. That treaty provides protection for free entry and transit of foreign officials to the United Nations, but the treaty's reservations clause allows the United States to control the flow of "aliens" into this country. Minister's Speech Angers Canadian Jews Ottawa (JTA) — The Cana- dian Jewish Congress issued a statement demanding that Prime Minister Brian Mul- roney repudiate remarks by Affairs Minister Joe Clark in which he said Canada con- demned Israel for human rights violations in the ad- ministered territories. Clark, whose full title is minister of state for external affairs, spoke last week at the closing session of the ninth annual Parliar entary Con- ference of the .C'anada-Israel Committee, a pro-Israel lob- bying organization. He ac- cused Israel of violating the Fourth Geneva Convention with regard to the treatment of Palestinian civilians. In his speech, twice inter- rupted by jeers from the au- dience and a walkout by about 100 of them, Clark said, "We condemn violence committed by either side in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but the human rights violations perpetrated by Israel are unacceptable!' Rabbis Plan Hunger Strike For Refusenik Washington (JTA) - Seven- teen rabbis held a one-day hunger strike, timed to coin- cide with the start of re- fusenik Yuli Kosharovsky's planned hunger strike in Moscow on the 1_7th anniver- sary of his application for an exit visa. Following a vigil across the street from the Soviet Em- bassy, Rabbi Ralph Dalin, Soviet Jewry chairman of the Washington Board of Rabbis, and Robin Saipe, community relations coordinator in the Washington office of the Na- tional Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ), delivered let- ters to the Soviet Embassy on behalf of Kosharovksy. Members of Congress deli- vered remarks on the floors of the House and Senate in sup- port of Kosharovsky. Kosharovsky, one of the best-known refuseniks, has been denied visas on the grounds that he was privy to state secrets. In 1980, the restriction expired, but was still not allowed to leave because he had "no close relatives in Israel."
