would do nothing, nothing to
hurt Israel's security,"
Lautenberg said.
Cautioning the audience,
"don't judge it yet, my
friends," he said the letter
was intended to inspire Sha-
mir to "reach as far as he can,
without sacrificing Israel's
people or its security, for
peace."
After receiving a standing
ovation before uttering even
one word, Inouye proceeded to
tell members of the audience
that he agreed to sign the let-
ter because he felt
"something had to be done to
indicate to our colleagues
that we are concerned" about
the violence in the territories.
He stressed that the letter
did not call for the relin-
quishing of the West Bank
and Gaza Strip. "I would
never sign a letter that would
tell Israel to give those things
up," he said. "To give up the
West Bank would be suicide.
We all know that?'
Yet he added that "it is bet-
ter to talk with your
neighbors than to exchange
blows with your neighbors.
And in your talks, it is better
to negotiate everything.
Everything?'
At least one member of the
Detroit contingent agrees.

But at the same time he
asked how U.S. Jews might
regard a letter from Israeli of-
ficials on how the Reagan ad-
ministration should conduct
affairs. "I think it's a little
presumptuous," he said, "to

can dictate what Israel can
do."
"We can talk all we want,"
added conference participant
Sheryl Rosenberg. "But it's
the Israeli government that
has to make the decisions."
