' The American criticism was contained in a statement by Acting Secretary of State Elliot Richardson, who also con¬ demned the Arab terrorist attack earlier in the week against a busload of passengers scheduled to board an El Al plane for a flight to London. Hie statement said the United States appealed to both sides "to. adhere scrupulously to the cease¬ fire resolutions of the United Nations Security Oiuncil and. that they take every possible step to assure" full com¬ pliance with the cease-fire agreements.
