NEWS ON West Germany Receives PLO • ▪ • - • • • Bonn (JTA) — The West German government has decided for the first time to receive an official delegation from the Palestine Liberation Organization, a top aide to chancellor Helmut Kohl said last week. The meeting is being plann- ed for this autumn. The exact dates and the members of the delegation are still under discussion. The aide said that Bonn felt it could no longer indefinite- ly delay the establishment of official contacts with the PLO. "We are merely doing, very late, what others, including the Americans, have done before," the aide said, referr- ing to the 8-month-old U.S. dialogue with the PLO. The official also pointed out that European Community leaders agreed at their recent summit meeting in Madrid that the PLO should "par- ticipate" in the Middle East peace process, as opposed to simply being "associated" with it, as previous E.C. declarations had stated. The aide ruled out a visit by PLO leader Yassir Arafat in the foreseeable future, but said that other top officials of the organization may be part of the delegation. Observers here have speculated that the PLO would send Bassam Abu Sharif, Arafat's right-hand man. , Temple Emanui-E1 14450 W. ,10 Mile Rd. • Oak Park, Michigan 48237 • (313).967-4020 Rabbi Lane B.
