07368. ALTERNATIVES FOR AMERICAN POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Brief, generally pro-Arab summary of three alternatives: more pro-Israeli policy, continuation of present policy, more pro-Arab policy including strong pressure for Israeli withdrawal from West Bank. First would lose Arab world and bring international condemnation; present policy is already rejected by both sides, and risks new wars and alienating Arabs anyway. Pro-Arab policy is almost impossible for domestic political reasons, but is the least-bad alternative and the only one that will protect American economic and political security interests. 7p. 5f. 5b.
