YOU'RE IN GGDD COMPANY Israel gives tentative approval to U.S. plan for Beirut peace (Continued from Page 5) accept the first contingent of Palestine Liberation Organization fighters from Beirut. Tunisian Foreign Minister Beji Caid Essebsi said President Habib Bourguiba had approved the plan, but he did not indicate how many would be in the group or when they would arrive. The official Syrian Arab News Agen- cy said in Damascus that President Hafez Assad's government was willing to host some of the guerrillas. That would be a reversal of Assad's stand. The agency gave few details but said the decision to accept the PLO fighters was taken at a meeting of syria's ruling Baath party. AN ISRAELI Cabinet communique said another problem holding up Israel's full acceptance was a plan for a vanguard of French troops to be deployed in west Beirut at the start of the evacuation. As the Cabinet met, Israeli warplanes resumed bombing missions on guerrillas in west Beirut, and also knocked out a Syrian SAM-9 missile battery in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, the military command said. "Israel stands by its decision not to permit the Syrians to move ground-to- air missile bateries into the Lebanon region," said a command announ- cement. It was the third air strike against Syrian missiles since the cease- fire with Syria June 11. THE ISRAELIS deployed 40 tanks and armored personnel carriers around the port of Byblos, 22 miles north of Beirut, apparently to keep U.S. and French ships from sending peacekeepers ashore before final ap- proval of the withdrawal plan, Lebanon's state radio reported. Israel's jets destroyed a battery of Syrian SAM-9 anti-aircraft missiles moved into eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley in defiance of Israeli warnings to keep the weapons out, the Tel Aviv command said. The jets also attacked Yasser Arafat's Fakhani neighborhood in west Beirut, the adjacent Sabra shantytown, and the Chatilla and Bourj-el-Barajneh camps. 9 I I Congratulations, Graduates!
