f/ess jawin Kissinger Visit
The last time we saw former Secretary of State
Dr. Henry A. Kissinger was on the Moscow
Summit in 1972.
Richard M. Nixon was President of the United
States then, a few weeks before Watergate, and
Dr. Kissinger had been criss-crossing the globe
on his shuttle and personal diplomatic missions.
One of the prime results was the Moscow
Summit which opened the door for Strategic Ar-
ms Limitations Talks and also provided the
I Soviet Union with much needed grain at low
I bushel prices.
We were interested in what Kissinger and
Nixon were going to do about getting the Soviets
to open their exit doors so Jews could leave the
country to be reunited with families after long
years of separation.
* Dr. Kissinger once told us with regard to a
question we consistently posed about whether
or not the Jewish refugees were on the official
agenda.
Following one meeting he drew me aside and
f said: “Don’t worry. We talked about it.”
£
l We do not know what was said. We do know
that what had been less than a trickle of Soviet
Jews soon opened into a gusher. As many as
35,000 Jews were able to leave the U.S.S.R. in
one year during the Kissinger tenure.
Last Saturday night, Dr. Kissinger was in
Dallas to speak to the Pacesetters division of the
current Greater Dallas Jewish Welfare
Federation’s 1982 fund-raising campaign.
Though the press was barred from attending
the dinner, including the Jewish press, by an
agreement with the former Harvard professor, Dr.
Kissinger was kind and courteous enough to
grant an interview preceding the dinner.
Dr. Kissinger was asked the following
question by the Texas Jewish Post: “You were
one of the peacemakers in the Middle East. You
had great rapport with ail the nations. How do
you judge the current impasse between the U.S.
and Israel. Do you think undue pressure is being
placed upon Israel’s security by this gover-
nment?”
Dr. Kissinger said: “I don’t have any im-
pression there is an impasse ...” Dr. Kissinger
said it was “impossible” to place “pressure”

Syria - Soviet Union
Reaffirm 'Friendship'
Score U.S. - Israel
While the United Nations
was voting for toned-down
sanctions against Israel for
its annexation of the Golan
Heights other Middle East
news was of greater signif-
icance.
Syria, which has a threat
poised against Israel with its
missiles in Lebanon, has
joined the Soviet Union in a
joint statement which was
designed to counter the
Golan annexation.
Syrian Foreign Minister
Abdel Halim Khaddam just
completed a visit to Moscow
where the accord was
drafted and signed.
Khaddam said “special
attention ... to the danger
poised by the recent Israeli
decision to annex the Golan
Heights” was discussed “and
measures to counter these
aggressive Israeli actions”
were agreed upon.
No definition of what
these “measures” would be
was made.
Khaddam also conferred
with Foreign Minister An-
drei A. Gromyko and with
Marshal Niklai V. Ogarkov,
chief of staff of the Soviet
Union’s armed forces.
The current Soviet-Syrian
friendship pact was signed
in October, 1980.
The communique stated
that both sides were satis-
fied with the results of the
treaty and “confirmed then-
striving to continue to
strengthen cooperation in all
areas, including military
matters.”
Turning to American-Is-
raeli relations and the
strategic cooperation agree-
ment between the two
nations, the communique
castigated the pact saying it
was a “dangerous action, the
consequences of which
transcend the boundaries of
the Middle East.”
Syria is still looking for a
vital Soviet commitment to
support its land-based mis-
siles in southern Lebanon.
The U.S.S.R. would make
no such public guarantee but
rather inferred the current
pact with Syria encompasses
any eventuality they may
want to consider in the form
of “friendship” and coopera-
tion.
The “friendship” means
the Soviet Union has an
entre to the Middle East via
Syria. Syria, in turn, besides
having a “big brother” to
guide it draws substantial
economic and military aid
from the Soviet Union.
U.S. Mideast Policy
Draws Sen. Hatch Fire
HOUSTON [JTA] - Sen.
Orrin Hatch [R. Utah]
sharply criticized aspects of
the Reagan Administration’s
policy in the Middle East,
especially its suspension of
the memorandum of under-
standing on strategic coop-
eration following Israel’s
extension of civil law to the
Golan Heights.
The Senator, addressing
more than 400 delegates at
the annual plenum of the
National Jewish Community
Relations Advisory Council
(NJCRAC) here, said Isra-
el’s Golan action was “per-
fectly justifiable” and he
expressed sorrow that the
Administration supported
Israel’s enemies by deplor-
ing the act, and “added
insult to injury” by suspend-
ing the memorandum.
Hatch also criticized what
he termed the Administra-
tion’s retributive responses
to Israel’s earlier destruc-
tion of Iraq’s nuclear reactor
and the bombing of the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization headquarters in Bei-
rut, by suspending the
shipment of military aircraft
to Israel for several weeks.
He termed the two Israel
actions as “highly justifiable
military” moves.
Says U.S. Is Pressuring
Israel
Prof. Robert Tucker of
Johns Hopkins University, a
Midest expert, author of the
recently published book
“The Purpose of American
Power,” and a former
Defense Department consul-
tant, termed the U.S.
attempts at forging a “stra-
tegic consensus” against
Soviet expansion in the
Mideast to be in reality “a
one-pillar policy” centered in
Riyadh.
Rather than an even-hand-
ed policy of cementing ties
to both Israel and “moder-
ate” Arab states, Tucker
said the U.S. was increasing
pressure on Israel to accept
Arab demands. He also said
that the strategic coopera-
tion agreement had been “a
sop thrown by the U.S. to
Israel for that one-pillar

Weinberger Going To Mideast But Will Not Visit Israel
BY DAVID FRIEDMAN
WASHINGTON [JTA] -
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger will not visit
Israel when he goes to the
Middle East next month.
Pentagon spokesman Henry
Catto said that Weinberger
has accepted an invitation
from Saudi Arabia to visit
that country early next
month and may also go to
neighboring Oman. Catto
stressed that Weinberger
does expect to go to Israel
this year but “Israel has
never been considered as
part of the itinerary for this
particular trip.”
Weinberger accepted an
invitation to visit Israel this
year when he and Israeli
Defense Minister Ariel
Sharon signed the memor-
andum of understanding on
the strategic cooperation
agreement between Israel
and the U.S. last November.
The U.S. suspended the
agreement after Israel ex-
tended its civil law to the
Golan Heights. Weinberger
has been especially critical
of the Israeli action.
However, a spokesman for
the Israel Embassy said that
Israel does not consider that
it is being “snubbed” by
Weinberger on his upcoming
Mideast trip. The spokes-
man said that no date has
been set for the Weinberger
visit to Israel, which is still
expected to happen some
time this year.
