Kent County sheriff's officers said

KUWAIT (AP» - PLO chairman
Yasser Arafat has rejected President
Reagan's Middle East peace proposal
and Jordanian King Hussein's request
to represent the Palestinians in talks
with Israel, a Kuwaiti newspaper
reported today
“We refuse the Reagan plan, not
merely for the sake of refusal, but
because it does not meet our quest for
our rights and because it ignores our
right to self-determination," Al-
Watan newspaper quoted Arafat as
saying in an interview.
Arafat said the Palestine I jberation
Organization has deemed it "un-
thinkable after all this struggle and
the blood of the martyrs that we come
today and authorize others to repre-
sent us. We represent ourselves No
one else will represent us," according
to the report.
On Friday, Farouk Katldoumi, head
of the PLO’s political department, re-
jected giving a mandate to Hussein
and said the Reagan peace plan was
inadequate .

"The door was never opened" to
Jordanian representation of the
Palestinians, Kaddoumi said.
Arafat apparently canceled an ex-
pected meeting with Hussein and flew
to South Yemen on Friday after three
days of talks with PLO leaders
Arafat met several times last week
with the Jordanian monarch
Arafat told Al-Watan that his
"revolution is strong and united, and
we will pursue our struggle until our
national objectives have been achiev-
ed and our independent stale has been
established on our soil."
Arafat, the paper said, reaffirmed
that the PLO "sticks to the Fez plan
which constitutes the minimum level
acceptable to us" for setting up an in-
dependent state.
That plan, put forward by the Arab
summit conference in Fez, Morocco
last September, calls for an indepen-
dent Palestinian state in the West
Bank of the Jordan River and the
Gaza Strip with Arab Jerusalem as its
capital The plan implies an Arab-
wide recognition of Israel's right to
exist.

HOUSTON i API - State
Democratic leaders are con-
sidering a plan to determine
how Texas will select its 200
delegates to the 1984 national
convention.
A proposal up for final ap-
proval by the State
Democratic Executive Com-
mittee today calls for 116
delegates to be elected from
senatorial districts according
to the districts' vote for
Democratic candidates in the
1980 presidential and the 1962
gubernatorial elections.
The panel was meeting in
Houston
under which farmers are idl-
ing acreage and receiving
free surplus grain in return
Farmers signed up to take a
record 82.3 million acres
from production.
With that much land idled,
officials thought that farmers
would have much less need
for loans to plant crops and
pay other expenses this spr-
ing.
It was decided by
Stockman and others in the
White House budget circle not
to seek help from Congress
because so many people on
the Hill who've got their
private little things are look-
ing for a piece of legislation
that's veto proof to hang
something on," the official
said.
