Kissinger Says U.S. Mideast Policy Will
Be Formulated Following Ford Meetings
By Joseph Polakoff
i
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger said May 6 that the
U.S. government "will
formulate, a . precise
American policy" toward
the Middle East after
President Ford's meetings
with Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat in Salzburg
June 1-2 and with Israeli
Premier Yitzhak Rabin irt
Washington, June 11-12.- He
said he could not give a
precise date when the
current reassessment of
American Mideast policy
ordered by Ford would be
completed but that "on the
whole, the final decision will
not be made until Ford has
had an opportunity to meet
with the leaders of the
countries principally con¬
cerned." He said there was
no new American plan at the
present time. Kissinger
-made- his remarks - in an
interview on the NBC-TV
_.'.'Today'!; program. .He said
there was no question that
the U.S. would continue its
efforts toward a Middle East
settlement but that "all
parties on both sides haye an
obligation to explain what
they can do to produce
. peace." He said that "On the
Israeli side, this is a question
of what territory they are
prepared to give up" and
"on the Arab sideLit is a
question of what .concrete
commitments to peace they
are prepared to make."
Kissinger warned that "a
prolonged stalemate in the
Middle East ihvolves a high
risk of another Middle East
war with major con¬
sequences for the possibility
of a conflict with the Soviet
Union and with a major
impact on the economies of
all the industrialized
nations, including us." He
said "This is a danger that
we are determined to avoid.
We believe that it is also in
the interests of all the
participants — all the
parties in the Middle East
including Israel."
Kissinger's appearance on
the "Today" program came
as U.S. officials*
acknowledged that the U.S.
will supply Jordan with
nearly 200 "Hawk" ground-
u>air missiles worth some
$100 million and other
military equipment despite
the freeze on hew American
arms to Israel' pending
completion of the
reassessment process. State
Department officials tried
hard   to   play   down  the

Jewish Committee,
American Jewish Congress,
the national executive board
of B'nai B'rith Women, .and

Rabbis. Elmer L. Winter,
president- of the AJCom¬
mittee; told -some 1000-
delegates, attending the
organization's 69th annual
meeting last weekend in
New York that humanitarian
aid to the Vietnamese
refugees is an urgent issue.
Noting that "as Jews who
have benefitted  from  the
generosity and welcome
accorded our parents and
grandparents when,they
came to these shores,"
Winter declared: "We call
upon all Americans to open
their .hearts to, them
(Vietnamese),, as'the people
of this country have always
opened their hearts to
human beings in need." A
resolution to this effect was
adopted.

House supporting President.

NEW YORK (WNS) - The American Jewish
Committee has urged the Administration and Congress
to take steps to provide full disclosure of foreign in¬
vestments in the United States and to allow the
President to limit, delay or restrict investments he
considers contrary to American interests. At the same
time the AJCommittee's policy statement on Arab
Economic Warfare, issued during its 69th annual
meeting here, declared the organization supported
America's traditional openness to foreign investments,
including Arab oil money. The policy statement, which
was announced by Alfred H. Moses, chairman of the
AJCommittee's Domestic Affairs Commission, urged
steps to forbid participation by Americans in the Arab
boycott and blacklisting of firms doing business with
Israel and to ensure the full disclosure of boycott
requests.        ■ '
LONDON (WNS) — Should a new war break out in
the Middle East, new, highly sophisticated weapons
developed in the United States and the Soviet Union
would be used by both sides, according to a study by
the International Institute for Strategic Studies. But
the study said that nuclear weapons were not likely to
be used. The report found that Israel and Syria have
more than replenished their military stocks since the
Yom Kippur War and Egypt is likely to be in a similar
position shortly.
PURCHASE, N.Y. (WNS) - As Pepsico held its
annual shareholders meeting at its world headquarters
here, some 70 Jewish youths marched around a burn¬
ing facsimile Pepsi machine chanting "Burn Pepsi,
Burn." The youths, organized by the Westchester
Students for Soviet Jewry, charged that "while Pep¬
sico sells in Russia, Pepsico sells out human rights,
Pepsico, and especially its board chairman Donald
Kendall, have not used their close Kremlin connection
to alleviate the persecution of Russian Jews." Pepsico
markets Pepsi in the USSR and Russian vodka in the
U.S.
Israel Is Seeking Economic
Agreements With Die U.S.
TEL AVIVI (JTA) -
Finance Minister Yehoshua
Rabinowitz left for
Washington on May 8 in
quest of economic
agreements with the United
States covering Israel's
latest requests for aid, the
stimulation of American
investments in Israel and the
matter of double taxation.
Rabinowitz's visit had been
postponed several times in
recent weeks owing to the
strained relations that
developed between
Washington and Jerusalem
after the suspension of the
bilateral talks with Egypt
conducted by Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger in
March. But subsequent
U.S.-Israeli contacts, in¬
cluding Foreign Minister
Yigal Alton's visit to
Washington last month
apparently have paved the
way for , Rabinowitz's
mission. The Finance
Minister told the Knesset
Finance committee on May 7
that the U.S. government
would   soon   publish   a
statement encouraging
American businessmen to
invest in Israel and would
undertake practical
measures to make such
investments more appealing
to Americans. A serious
obstacle up to now has been
the inability to recruit
American businessmen to
participate in a joint U.S.-
Israeli commercial com¬
mittee aimed at charting
investment opportunities.
The committee was the
idea of U.S. Secretary of the
Treasury William Simon
who proposed it when he
visited Jerusalem last year.
A similar committee has
