AJC poll reveals wide support for Israel's decision
to negotiate with the PLO.
JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
A
An overwhelming pro-
portion of American
Jews support Israel's de-
cision to negotiate with
the PLO on the question of
Palestinian autonomy.
But a majority also continue
to believe that the PLO cannot
be counted on to live up to its
agreements.
Those findings were part of
a study conducted by Market
Facts for the American Jewish
Committee. The polling was
done in the period September
20-26, one week after the his-
toric White House signing of an
Israeli-PLO accord.
"I'm not surprised that a ma-
jority were sympathetic to the
Israeli government's actions,"
said Dr. David Singer, AJC di-
rector of research. "But the de-
gree of support, in some cases,
was astonishing."
According to the AJC data,
which was based on telephone
interviews with 1,009 Jewish
adults, some 84 percent of re-
spondents support the Israeli
government's current handling
of the Mideast peace negotia-
tions, with only 9 percent op-
posing. And 87 percent agree
the Rabin government was
right to open negotiations with
the Palestine Liberation Orga-
nization for Palestinian auton-
omy.
But those overwhelming per-
centages declined when re-
searchers asked about the
details of the "Gaza and Jericho
first" plan.
Some 69 percent support the
idea of Palestinian autonomy
for Gaza, 63 percent for Jericho.
And only 43 percent favor ex-
tending Palestinian autonomy
to other areas of the West Bank
at a "later stage," an integral
part of the accord.
An overwhelming majority
— some 90 percent — stated
that the Israeli-PLO mutual
recognition was a positive step.
But only 34 percent indicated
that they believe the PLO can
be relied on to honor its agree-
ment to refrain from terrorism.
Those disparities probably re-
flect the speed of recent events,
Mr. Singer said. "There's been
very little time to assimilate all
this," he said.
Israel Aid Survives
A
fter months of anxiety
and new concerns arising
from the need to find
money to help implement
the Israeli-PLO agreement, the
foreign aid bill survived its last
major challenge in the wee
hours of Tuesday morning.
A House-Senate conference
committee met to work out dif-
ferences between the two ver-
sions of the bill — including the
fact that the Senate bill retained
"earmarks" protecting allot-
ments to certain countries, in-
cluding Israel, while the House
version did not.
Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., the
powerful head of the Appropri-
ations Foreign Operations sub-
committee, had renewed his
battle against earmarks and
pro-Israel activists were con-
cerned that a final bill without
them could represent a worri-
some precedent for future aid to
Israel.
There was also concern that
the lack of earmarks on aid be-
yond the basic $3 billion allot-
ment to Israel would allow the
administration to avoid spend-
ing the full appropriated amount
in areas like refugee assistance
programs in Israel, and for co-
operative development projects
between Israel and other coun-
tries.
Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., a
member of Mr. Obey's subcom-
mittee, led the fight to retain the
earmarks for all programs ben-
efiting Israel.
In the end, Rep. Obey gave in
and agreed to earmark the ba-
sic $3 billion allotment, and $80
million to help Israel resettle
new immigrants — which was
vigorously opposed by the ad-
ministration.
A long list of pro-Israel provi-
sions were also included in the
final bill, which then went to the
full Senate and House, where no
further problems are expect-
ed. E
