"The fact that Palestinians inside and outside of the West Bank and Gaza are debating and discussing the election idea is a positive and healthy sign," State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tut- wiler said at her daily briefing. "We are only at the begin- ning of a process," Tutwiler said. In particular, "the details of an elections pro- posal need to be elaborated." Tutwiler was commenting on reports of an underground leaflet circulating in the ter- ritories and signed by leading Palestinian academics, business leaders, journalists, doctors and engineers. The document rejects Yit- zhak Shamir's call for Palesti- nian elections, which the Israeli prime minister has said would allow Palestinians to choose representatives to negotiate an interim period of autonomy with Israel. Instead, the leaflet insists that Israel begin negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization and take part in an international Middle East peace conference, both of which the government adamantly opposes. The document also calls for a U.N.-supervised withdrawal of Israeli forces from the ter- ritories before any election could take place, the Pbst said.

Several ad hoc teams within the government have begun to flesh out elements of Shamir's peace initiative, which he presented to Secretary of State James Baker and President Bush earlier this month in Washington. Shamir has not yet ap- pointed a special ministerial panel to formulate the specifics of the Israeli plan. But separate groups have already been formed in the Foreign Ministry and in the Prime Minister's office, under senior officials, to study various elements of the package. Meanwhile, Israeli leaders have privately predicted that rejection of the elections pro- posal last week by West Bank Palestinians will not be their last word on the issue. -4 4
