this week continued to point
out that Arafat has not yet
formally applied for a visa.
As a result, no decision on
whether to grant him one
has yet been made.
But they conceded private-
ly that the administration
has been quietly and in-
directly encouraging Arafat
not to come to the United
Nations at this time. The
Americans clearly want to
avoid what they call a major
policy dilemma over the en-
tire visa issue right now.
For the time being, the
administration has been
anxious simply to promote
Israel's proposal for Palesti-
nian elections on the West ,
Bank and Gaza. U.S. offi-
cials have been encouraged
by Egypt's 10-point proposal_;
to implement the election
scheme.
But the PLO has still not
endorsed the Egyptian plan,
according to U.S. officials
who note that Arafat, for the
time being, is simply
prepared to "appoint" a
Palestinian delegation to
discuss the peace process
with Israeli officials in
Cairo.

Shamir has refused to accept

The Americans have been
monitoring the apparently
growing split between,
Shamir and Defense Min-

various aspects of the Egyp-

Until now, U.S. officials
have thought that Shamir
and Rabin were in fairly
close agreement on many of
these issues.
