State Cyrus Vance met with King

yiving here and was understood to

n that opposition to the plan could

gotiations called for in the accords,

The secretary is also scheduled to
meet with three other Arab leaders -
King Khaled and Crown Prince Fahd of
Saudi Arabia in Riyadh today and
tomorrow, and President Hafez Assad
of Syria in Damascus on Saturday.
Vance said earlier that his mission
was to explain to the "key Arab gover-
nments not represented at Camp
David .. . the contents, purpose and
philosophy of the understandings
reached ... so they can make their
own decisions on how to respond to the
invitations to them 'contained in the
basic documents."
THE FRAMEWORK for peace in the
Middle East was drawn up by Egyptian

President Anwar Sadat and Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin un-
der the sponsorship of President Carter
during a two-week conference at Camp
David in Maryland.
The accord calls for, among other
things, a five-year transition period in
the West Bank and Sinai, leading to full
autonomy for the people there who are
predominantly Palestinian Arabs.
Israel has agreed not to establish new
settlements during the negotiations and
inhabitants are to elect representatives
to participate in the peace process.
Left unsettled are the ultimate boun-
daries of Israel, the nature of the
autonomous Palestinian entity, the
future of Jerusalem and the security
arrangements for Israel.
IN THE U.S. view, Jordan could have
a strong influence on the makeup of the
Palestinian presence on the West Bank
if it accepts the invitation to join the
peace talks. If Hussein boycotts, he
runs the risk of seeing an independent
Palestinian entity emerge, which could
be antagonistic to the Jordanian
monarchy.
Jordan has said it would not be bound
by the agreements and Saudi Arabia
has said the terms "could not be con-

..

siderdd as an acceptable final formula
for peace."
Hussein is also under pressure from
those Arab states opposed to Sadat's
negotiations, a so-called Rejection
Front made up of Syria, Libya, Algeria,

complete Israeli withdrawal from the
West Bank and Gaza Strip, nor do they
guarantee the rights of Palestinians to
form a state.
American officials said Vance would
tell Hussein that while there are no
guarantees on those two points, Israel
has started a process of withdrawal
that will eventually result in a satisfac-
tory arrangement.
The American officials, who declined
to be identified, said they do not expect
an immediate response from Hussein
and expect that he will first want to
consult with neighboring Saudi Arabia
and Syria, the next two stops on Van-
ce's itinerary.
AMERICAN officials believe the
Saudis may hold the key to acceptance
of the plan, since their oil wealth
bankrolls poorer states like Jordan,
Egypt and Syria. Recognizing that
power, the Carter administration has
been cultivating the Saudis, most
notably by selling them 60 F-15 fighter
jets.
The Saudis responded to the accords
more critically than Hussein, and U.S.
officials believe they are particularly
upset that the plan says nothing about
the future of East Jerusalem, now
Israeli-occupied.
Vance, it was learned, intends to
point out that the American position on
Jerusalem does not support Israel's.
Israel contends that the city is in-
divisible and must be the capital of the
Jewish state. Arabs consider it a holy
city for Islam and some have suggested
it be divided or placed under inter-
national control.

cent approved of Carter's performance,"
28 per cent disapproved and 21 per cent
had no opinion.
IN JUNE, a CBS-New York Times'
poll showed that 38 per cent approved of
Carter's work, 41 per cent disapproved'
and 21 per cent had no opinion. The New
York Times is currently on strike, and,

said the newspaper was not involved in.
the latest poll.
Carter's current 51 per cent.approval
rating puts him midway between his
low of 38 per cent in June and his high of
64 per cent in April 1977.
The' President's dramatic popularity:
leap was similar to those recorded by
his four immediate predecessors after
they scored breakthroughs or took=
dramatic steps on the international
front.

by CBS, President Nixon's rating went
up 16 percentage points following the4
Vietnam peace agreement in 1973;
