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 — eI .B.
