buses are old and they're tired,
but they're out there doing their
job and I think they are reliable."
Kevin Hogan, a certified me-
chanic and State Police Motor
Carrier Officer, who inspects
UHS buses, does not fully agree.
Last fall, he red-tagged four out
of four buses he inspected. On
Feb. 24, he returned to rein-
spect the same four vehicles. All
four were again red-tagged for
repeat violations.
"People should be concerned,"
he said. "They're running vehi-

Officer Hogan suggested that
Federation invest in newer
equipment.
Although red-tag violations
are common to many public and
private bus companies, not all
transportation departments re-
ceive overall inspection results
of "poor." West Bloomfield and
Southfield schools, for instance,
last year received the highest
mark: "excellent."
Dean Transportation Servicer'
a private company in Lansing,
received an overall rating of
"good." ❑

Israeli official has met in
Cairo with Palestine Organ-
ization Chairman Yassir
Arafat, marking the first
time the two sides have held
talks since the Feb. 25
murders of Palestinian wor-
shipers in Hebron.
An official close to Mr.
Rabin confirmed that the
secret talks were held in the
Egyptian capital in an effort
to salvage the Israeli-PLO
negotiations, which the Pa-
lestinians broke off abruptly
after an Israeli settler killed
more than 40 Palestinians at
morning prayer at the Tomb
of the Patriarchs.
Jacques Neriah, an ad-
viser to Prime Minister Yit-
zhak Rabin, presented Mr.
Arafat with new proposals
for security arrangements in
the territories in light of the
Hebron killings.
PLO sources in Tunis told
Israel Radio they expect an
Israeli minister to meet with
Mr. Arafat within a day or
two.
But Israel Radio also re-
ported that Mr. Arafat,
following a meeting with
Egyptian Foreign Minister
Amre Moussa, reiterated
that the PLO will not
resume talks with Israel un-
til the U.N. Security Council
issues a condemnation of the
Hebron murders.
At the United Nations,
Israeli sources said the
resolution remains stalled
over the Palestinian in-
sistence that the resolution
be specifically worded to call
for an armed international
presence in the territories.
The sources said the Pales-
tinians are also demanding

that Jerusalem be specifical-
ly mentioned in reference to
the territories.
The United States, whic
has veto power over any"
Security Council resolution,
is supporting Israeli opposi-
tion to these two points.
Mr. Rabin is meanwhile
standing firm against the
PLO demand for an armed
international force in the
territories to protect Pales-
tinians living there.
Speaking at Hebrew Unite
versity, Mr. Rabin said he
believes an armed presence
in the territories would run
counter to agreements al-
ready negotiated with the
PLO and would cast doubt
on any agreements reached
with them in the future.
The self-rule accord signed
last September includes a
provision for the placement
of international observers in
the territories, but not for an
armed presence.

In the wake of the Feb. 25
killings of Palestinians at a
Hebron mosque, the PLO
has repeatedly called for an
armed international
presence in the territories.
The PLO has also called for,,_ \
the removal of settlements
in Hebron and for the dis-
arming of all settlers
throughout the territories.
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres said that Israel would
agree to the temporary
presence of observers in the
territories, from nations that
have offered financial assis-
tance to the future Palestin<
ian autonomqus area.
Mr. Peres also said time
was of the essence to reach
agreement with the PLO. ❑
