SUMMARY
Eban's Talks in State
Eban's initial presentation:
1. Israel will move from present cease-fire lines only to
peace. This means:
--Arab governments must tell their people they must
accept a sovereign Israel in full political and juridical sense.
--Arab governments must abandon belligerent claims,
blockades, secondary boycotts, ostracism of Israel, terrorism.
2. Agreement between the parties must be contractual.
Arab signatures are important because if one side violates a clear
agreement, the other is freed of its obligations. There can be no
misunderstanding about what was agreed. Involvement of outside
parties is undesirable because it increases the possibilities for
conflicting interpretations.
3. Secure and recognized boundaries must be different
from armistice lines. Israel's approach to borders rests on these
points:
They must be based on agreement;
They must reflect Israel's security needs;
They must preserve the Jewish character of the state.
4. All elements of a peace settlement must be executed as
a package.
5. Both the USSR and France are far from the US position
and are trying to break through the US position.
6. Everyone should try to keep Jarring in motion.
Secretary Rogers' main points:
1. The new Administration has no intention of changing the
special US-Israeli relationship.
