UNIVERSAL WATCH REPAIR MRGEST FACILITY IN MICHIGAN SPECIALIZING IN ROLEX REPAIRS Peres Letter Made Public Jerusalem (JTA) — As the rhetoric over the status of Jerusalem heated up, it emerged that Foreign Minister Shimon Peres sent Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yassir Arafat a letter last fall promising that Israel would respect Pales- tinian institutions in Jerusalem. Several weeks after the sign- ing of the declaration of princi- ples last September in Washington, Peres sent the let- ter to Johan Jorgen Holst, the late Norwegian foreign minister who was instrumental in hosting the secret Oslo talks that led to the historic signing. In the letter, Mr. Peres re- ferred to a speech he made in the Knesset on Sept. 9, when there was much euphoria surrounding the Oslo agreement that formed the basis of the declaration of principles. In that speech, Mr. Peres said Israel "would bind itself to en- suring the proper functioning of the various religious institutions" in Jerusalem. He also said in the Knesset speech that mutual respect would be required of all communities in Jerusalem if they were to live to- gether in harmony — which would also mean respecting "re- ligious, social and other institu- tions" and tolerating separate educational frameworks. This week, Mr. Rabin gave no- tice that Israel will not tolerate the establishment of new Pales- tinian autonomous institutions in Jerusalem. An Israeli official close to the peace process reiterated Mr. Ra- bin's position, saying Mr. Peres' letter related only to Palestinian institutions that were in exis- tence last September. What Israel objects to today, he said, is the establishment of any new Palestinian political in- stitutions in Jerusalem. "We won't allow that," the of- ficial said. T a st year, Mr. Arafat request- ed the letter as a weapon with which to fight for the preserva- tion of the Palestinian status quo in Jerusalem when the issue comes up for discussion in two years. At that point, the parties are to negotiate a permanent arrangement for the autonomous Palestinian entity. The status of Jerusalem is certain to be the thorniest issue at those discus- sions. The Israeli official downplayed the fact that the letter had never before been made public. In an interview with the Israeli daily Ha'aretz, the official denied that there were any secret an- nexes to the agreement Israel made at the time with the PLO.
