Black Leader Withdraws
Invitation to Arafat to Visit U.S.
by Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Walter Fauntroy, one of the
prime movers among American
Black leaders toward inducing
the U.S. government to deal
with the Palestine Liberation
Organization, has announced
that he has withdrawn his in
vitation to PLO chief Yasir
Arafat to visit the U.S. and has
also cancelled a series of 10
“educational forums’* on the
: East and thePalestinian
question scheduled by the
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference (SCLC).
Fauntroy, who is chairman of
the SCLC Board and the Dis
trict of Columbia’s delegate to
the House of Representatives,
and Rev. Joseph Lowery, presi
dent of the SCLC, had both met
with Arafat in Beirut in
September and indicated that
they would receive from Arafat
a promise that the PLO will
cease its terrorist activities.
Fauntroy’s announcement
followed a six-point message to
the SCLC from Arafat in
dicating that the PLO would
observe a cease-fire in south
Lebanon but would engage in
renewed hostilities against
Israel.
The PLO statement was
issued after Rev. Jesse Jackson
left Beirut after an 11-day five-
nation Mideast tour which in-
clqded Israel, Egypt, Jordan,
Syria and Lebanon.hBefore
leaving Beirut, Jackson, who is
the head of Operation PUSH,

claimed that the PLO had “seiz
ed the initiative” by declaring a
cease-fire in south Lebanon. The
declaration, however, made no
mention of ending terrorist ac
tivity against Israel.
Arafat’s Declaration
Termed Inadequate
Fauntroy said Arafat’s cease
fire declaration was inadequate
and that it does not guarantee
an end to terrorism in Israel or
on the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. The Black leader said on a
local radio interview that “I in
tend to withhold any invitation
to Mr. Arafat until there is some
clear indication that he is
prepared to at least respond to
our initial request to a
moratorium on - violence
everywhere, including inside
the nation of Israel.”
Fauntroy also said the SCLC
would not launch its education
forums on the Mideast until ‘ Ve
get a dearer undv^rstanding of
what their (PLO) intentions are
in respect to the moratorium.”
Regarding the Lebanon cease
fire, he added, “That for me is
not adequate. It has to be a uni
lateral and across-the-board
moratorium including acts of
violence inside Israel.” There
was no immediate comment
from Lowery.
The State Department ex
pressed skepticism over the
Lebanon cease-fire which it
termed “shaky” but “holding.”
The cease-fire was, in fact, in
effect before Arafat’s message
to Fauntroy saj^ng the PLO
would observe it. Fauntroy’s
statement followed an exchange
of cables between the SCLC in
Atlanta and Arafat. Fauntroy
considered Arafat’s first
message inadequate and cabled
for “clarification.” The reply
from the PLO leader indicated
to Fauntroy that Israel was not
included in the promised cease
fire.
Meanwhile, in Amman,
Abdul-Jawad Saleh, a member
of the PLO executive committee,
said that the PLO rejected
proposals by Jackson calling for
the freezing of its violence
against Israel, recognition of
Israel and joining the Camp
David accords.

ministration’s refusal to move
away from the thrust of a com
prehensive settlement.
Rosenbaum deplored the fact
that Israel’s value to the United
States is given such “short
shift,” asking “are our strategic
allies those who are economical-
ly important rather than
militarily important?” He
described our policy of playing
“footsy” with the PLO as a
failure of will and vision
because the PLO opposes not
only Israel’s right to exist and
the peace treaty, but also
American presence and in
fluence in the area. In suppor
ting the PLO, we are implicitly
supporting a Soviet State in the
Middle East.
Rosenbaum urged economic
and military support for Israel
and Egypt as an investment in
peace. This support will bring
greater stability to the area,
preventing more Soviet in
tervention. He cautioned our
government on its arms sales to
other Arab states, especially the
proposed arms sale to ^udi
Arabia, stating that a military
presence will put these states
under pressure to intervene
militarily against Israel.
A scheduled “Luncheon with
Your Congressmen” was not as
productive as hoped because
most were working in their
home districts. Those present,
which regretfully did not in
clude Congressman Martin,
wholeheartedly agreed with the
group that the United States
must develop policies to counter
act OPEC influence in our
domestic and foreign affairs.
The congressmen stressed
energy conse’^ation as essen
tial to accorr lish this goal.
