The concern that somehow or other we are turning away from that position was the result of statements made in December by our Department of State. Our Secretary of State confirmed reports that there were several proposals made by us to the Soviet Union suggesting terms for an IsraeliEgyptian and IsraeliJordanian settlement. As I understand it. our Secretary of State indicated that these proposals did exist and they bore on such basic questions as permanent boundaries. status of Jerusalem. and refugee resettlement. That indeed would be a turnaround in our policy. and an unwise one. And difficult as the search for peace in that troubled area of the world is. peace will not be found until all of the parties to that conflict want peace.
