Rep. Hamilton Defends
U.S. Dialogue With PLO

Washington (JTA) — The
United States must continue

its dialogue with the PLO to
achieve peace in the Middle
East, the chairman of the
House subcommittee dealing
with the Middle East said
Monday.
"It is not feasible to obtain
a Palestinian-Israeli dia-
logue in isolation or in
disassociation from the
PLO," Rep. Lee Hamilton
(D-Ind.) told 125 visiting
members of Churches for a
Middle East Peace.
The pro-Palestinian group,
comprised of a dozen Protes-
tant denominations, is
holding a three-day lobbying
effort here this week, dubbed
Washington Advocacy Days.
Hamilton, who chairs the
House Foreign Affairs sub-
committee on Europe and
the Middle East, said the 17-
month old U.S. dialogue
with the PLO "weakens
what was previously a
Soviet monopoly in dealing
with the PLO."
The dialogue also "holds
the PLO to its renunciation
of terrorism" and allows the
United States "to try to in-
fluence Palestinian think-
ing," he said.
During its visit here, par-
ticipants in the lobbying
mission had hoped to urge
members of Congress not to
approve $400 million in loan
guarantees to build housing
for Soviet Immigrants in
Israel.
They seemed disappointed
when Hamilton told them,
"That seems to be moving
through the Congress
without much opposition."
In fact, both the Senate
and House have approved
the loan guarantees and are
now reconciling differences
in the two pieces of legisla-
tion.
But Hamilton seemed
sympathetic to the aims of
the church group, saying it
provides "a badly needed
voice to give us more bal-
ance" on the Middle East.
He also told the group that
"in the longer term, over
time, the proportion of assis-
tance that goes to Israel and
Egypt, in my view, should be
reduced."
"I think both Israel and
Egypt understand this has to
happen and that it is in their
own long-term interest that
there be a reduction in the
level of assistance," he said.
Gordon Shull, a Presby-
terian from Wooster, Ohio,
received applause when he
asked why the United States

-

does not "say vigorously to
Israel, 'Look, you've got to
accept a Palestinian state.
You've got to talk to Arafat
today or you'll be talking
with Habash in 10 years,
and you've got to stop stomp-
ing on the West Bank.' "
George Habash heads the
radical Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine,
while Yasir Arafat heads the
more moderate Al Fatah
wing of the PLO.
But Hamilton responded,
"We can't force them to do
something that they
perceive to be against their
national interest, even

"What gives us the
arrogance to
decide that we
know what's best
for the Middle
East?"
Rep. Lee
Hamilton

though we provide $3 billion
worth of aid, closer to $4
billion."
"What gives us the ar-
rogance to decide that we
know what's best for the
Middle East?" Hamilton
asked.
The group gave its biggest
round of applause after An-
drew Harless, a Presby-
terian from Sarasota, Fla.,
asked, "How can we save
Congress from the Israeli
lobby," so that it is "not con-
stantly feeling any fear of
being voted out of office" or
"bought out of office?"
"It is interesting to me
that you did not include the
administration in that,"
Hamilton retorted. "There's
no less a tilt in the executive
branch than in the Con-
gress."
Foreign aid is popular
"because of the very soph-
isticated and powerful and
well-financed Jewish lobby,"
said Hamilton. "But it
would be a mistake to
assume that that's the only
reason.
"I represent an area of
southeastern Indiana. I
don't have in my district a
single Jewish synagogue,"
he said. But "I find among
the fundamentalist Chris-
tian churches as strong a
support for Israel as I find in
the synagogues," he said.
