Bush Opens Peace Talks
Urging Broad Agreement
adrid — A half-
century of hatred
was concentrated
around an odd, T-shaped
table as Presidents George
Bush and Mikhail Gor-
bachev on Wednesday set
the seal of superpower ap-
proval on the Middle East
peace conference in Madrid.
Addressing the represent-
atives of Israel, Syria, Leb-
anon, Jordan, the Palestin-
ians, Egypt and the Euro-
pean Community, the two
men sought to allay fears
and calm overheated polit-
ical passions.
In an eloquent,
impassioned speech, Presi-
dent Bush reminded dele-
gates: "We come to Madrid
on a mission of hope — to
begin work on a just, lasting
and comprehensive set-
tlement of the conflict in the
Middle East.
"We come here to seek
peace for a part of the world
that, in the long memory of
man, has known far too
much hatred, anguish and
war. I can think of no
endeavor more worthy — or
more necessary."
He spoke of his vision of a
Middle East "where vast
resources are no longer
devoted to armaments,
where young people no
longer have to dedicate and,
all too often, give their lives
to combat."
At the same time, he cau-
tioned against
underestimating the
challenge ahead:
"The struggle we seek to
end • has a long and painful
history. Every life lost, every
outrage, every act of
violence is deeply etched in
the hearts and histories of
this region.
"Theirs is a history that
weighs heavily against
hope," he said. "And yet,
history need not be man's
master."
Israeli delegates may have
been irked by President
Bush's insistence that
"territorial compromise is
essential for peace," but in
the context of the deepening
chill in relations, they had
reason to be pleased with
almost everything else he
said.
Amid growing demands by
Syria for "understandings"
rather than full-blown, con-
tractual peace treaties with
Israel and for an intrusive
role for the superpower co-
sponsors in the direct
negotiations, President
Bush was unambiguous.
He emphasized that it was
not enough "simply to end
the state of war and replace
it with a state of non-
belligerency."
"Rather, we seek real
peace, and by real peace I
mean treaties —security,
diplomatic relations, trade,
investment, cultural
exchanges, even tourism."
He also spoke of the neces-
sity for direct negotiations
between Israel and each of
its protagonists, repeating
that a settlement could not
be imposed from outside:
"Progress is in the hands
of the parties, who must live
with the consequences."
He stressed the impor-
tance of multilateral
negotiations between all the
parties, scheduled to start in
mid-November, which will
deal with a range of issues of
common concern, including
arms control, the envi-
ronment and water
resources.
Syria has hinted it will not
attend this phase of the pro-
"For too long the
Israeli people have
lived in fear. ".
President Bush
cess unless it has an Israeli
commitment to withdraw
from the Golan Heights, but
President Bush noted that
progress in this forum "can
help create an atmosphere in
which long-standing
bilateral disputes can more
easily be settled."
He used the Palestinians'
preferred term for "self-
government," but left no
mistake that he meant
"Camp David autonomy"
when he said that "for Israel
and the Palestinians a
framework already exists for
diplomacy."
And while he advocated a
formula that would give Pa-
lestinians "meaningful con-
trol over their own lives and
fate," he insisted it must
also provide for "the accep-
tance and security of Israel."
"Peace cannot depend
upon promises alone," he
said. "Real peace —lasting
peace — must be based upon
security for all states and
people, including Israel.
"For too long the Israeli
people have lived in fear,
surrounded by an unaccep-
ting Arab world. Now is the
