JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Israel received and
promptly rejected a list of
proposed Palestinian members of a joint Jordanian-
Palestinian negotiating
team.
The list was not published.
Premier Shimon Peres said
that it was unacceptable to
Israel. He said he did not'
know "if it is acceptable to
the United States." The
names were sent to Washington'by King Hussein of Jordan and forwarded to Israel
after several days of study
by the State Department.
Peres said the list, which' -
he received from the American Charge d'Affaires,
Robert Flatten, contained no
residents of the West Bank
or Gaza Strip. He said he
was less surprised by the
names on the list than by
those omitted. It represents r
"a bad opening move" in the
peace process, the Premier
said.
The list' apparently was '
made up by Palestine Liberation Organization chief
Yasir Arafat. Observers
here said he deliberately left
out Palestinian leaders from
the West Bank and Gaza
because he did not want to
legitimize them as potential
future  negotiators  with
Barbara Greenberg Elected Chairwoman
Of Religious Coalition For Abortion Rights
RCAR has established a
speakers bureau in the Columbus area and offers educational programs for teen
or adult groups. Anyone interested may contact the localRCAR office at 888-2246.
Barbara Greenberg was
recently ejected to serve as
chairwoman of the Religious
Coalition For Abortion
Rights in Ohio. ,
Barbara Greenberg
Greenberg is the immediate past East Central regional chairwoman of B'nai
B'rith Women.and has
served as the B'nai B'rith
Women's representative to
the Religious Coalition For
Abortion, Rights (RCAR)
Ohio Policy Council for" the
past year.
The Religious Coalition
For Abortion Rights is com
prised of 35 national religious organizations representing Christian," Jewish
and other denominations. All
support the rightf of every
woman to choose legal and
safe abortion.
RCAR works by monitoring Congress, the Administration and the courts on
abortion-related matters;
coordinating affiliate activities in key states across the
nation and developing grassroots support to affect local,
state and national legislation
and public policy.
Jewish member organizations of the. Religious Coalition For Abortion Rights
are: American Jewish Congress, B'nai B'rith Women,
Federation of Reconstruc-
tionist Congregations and
Havurot, National Council of
Jewish Women, National
Federation of Temple Sister-'
hoods, North.American Federation of Temple Youth, Pioneer Women/Na'Amat,
Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, United Synagogue of America and the
Women's League for Conservative Judaism.
I
Israel.
A second reason why
Israel rejected the list is that
the men named are members of the Palestine
National Council (PNC),
often referred to as the
Palestinian parliament-in-
exile. Israel regards the
PNC" as an extension of the
PLO and membership in it
tantamount to membership
in' the PLO." Washington
takes a different view.
The Reagan Administration says it honors the 1975
U.S. commitment not to
recognize or negotiate with
the PLO. But it is willing to
sit down with PNC members
not identified with the PLO.
U.S. Asserts Israel
Has No Veto Power
Over Names On List
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The Reagan Administration
asserted last"week"that"
Israel does not have a veto
over the United States' decision whether Palestinians on
the list given Washington by
Jordan are acceptable for a
joint Jordanian-Palestinian
delegation.
"Our decision will be
taken in light of consultations with our friends in the
area, but it will be our decision," Robert Smalley, a
State Department spokesman, declared. But he
stressed that progress
toward a Middle East peace
requires "mutual trust and
full confidence."
Smalley reiterated that
the U.S. will not reveal any
names on the list given it by
Jordan with'the aim of bring-

Another point of difference
with Jerusalem is the Administration's willingness to
enter into "dialogue" with a
joint Jordanian-Palestinian
delegation without Israel's
participation at the outset.
