Since the truce was established last summer. there have been no significant violations of that truce by the PLO. There has been no crossborder action except a very limited use of rockets in the wake of Israels violation of the truce which occurred with their heavy aerial attacks against Beirut several weeks ago. and it was only in response to that that the PLO loosed some rocket fire. And if the information I have received from the State Department is correct. even those rockets were directed to sparsely settled agricultural areas away from civilian centers. whereas the attacks that were initiated against Beirut were lodged directly against the settlements where the Palestinian refugees have been making their homes and against other concentrations of population. These are dreadful moments. and the burden of responsibility for what is happening must be shared by the Members of this body and the President. In saying these words.
