I suggested to Prime Minister Shamir a temporary suspension of settlements in parallel with an Arab suspension of the economic boycott and the state of war to help the prospects for a peace conference. He adamantly said settlements were an issue for the negotiations between Israel and the Arab parties about the occupied territories. At the same time. it Is eminently reasonable for the United States to insist that its assistance for the immigrants not contradict or undermine longstanding United States policy on Israeli settlements. When the loan guarantees do come before the Senate. I will recommend several conditions to make them consistent with U.S. policy and to protect all American taxpayers.
