THFPEFOF'F, THE ARAB RULERS ARE A THOI_I:-:FIND T I!'1E:-: RIGHT TO
FEAR THE STRENGTH OF THE LIBYAN ARAB REPUBLIC AND, THEREFORE,
THEY ARE BOUND TO BEHAVE CORRESPONDINGLY BECAUSE THEY ARE
AFRAID ^F THEIR MASSES, THEIR I :-: NO BETTER EVIDENCE OF THEIR
FEAR OF THEIR OWN MASSES THAN -:HACKLING THEIR MASSES AND ^ I C I NG
THEIR DENUNCIATION AND APPREHENSION AT THE GROWING ECONOMIC AND
MILITARY STRENGTH OF THE LIBYAN ARAB REPUBLIC. THEY HAVE P,
RIGHT TO BF III:=:TUF'BED. THEY HA'v'E A RIGHT TO =:TEP UP THEIR S:TATMENT'-:
AND THEIR EXPRESSIONS OF ANYI ET'r' . THIS IS BECAUSE THE LIBYAN
ARAB REPUBLIC DECLARES: BEFORE YOU THAT THIS REVOLUTION I `: A
.:TRENGTH FOR THE ARAB MASSES.
THIS DUECTION MUTT BE PUT FOP DISCUSSION. THERE IS ANOTHER MATTER
THAT HR T TO BE D I Ct_I:-::-:EII . THE LIBYAN ARAB REPUBLIC HAS BEGUN
K (WORDS I ND T ST I NC:T) ; WHETHER THESE PART T F:-: ARE I N FINDER OR
I N OF'F'^":: I T I ON, I N AN ATTEr'1F'T TO FIND A FORMULA THAT WOULD QDPIV0
THE ARAB POLITICAL STRUGGLE TOWARD A SPECIFIC STRATEGIC OBjECTIVE.
AT PRESENT THERE 13 NO TT ONE UNIFIED ARAB MOVEMENT. THERE ARE
SEVERAL ARAF: POLITICAL PART 1 EC, SOME ^F WHICH ACT I N ACCORDANCE
WITH NATIONAL PRINCIPLES AND OTHER'. WITH DOMESTIC AND REGIONAL
PRINCIPLES. THEY NATIONAL AND DOMESTIC PRINCIPLES ARE AIMED

THEM. HOWEVER, THE NATIONAL. AND DOMESTIC PARTIES IN OUR VIEW
HIM FOR THE. SAME TARGET BUT TAKE D I FFF_RENT PATHS. A RULING PARTY
THAT I S: NOTT ATTENDING THIS MEETING SHOULD GIVE THE OPPOSITION
PARTY THE OFF'^F'TUN I T'r TO ATTEND IT. THIS I S MEREL'Y' AN IDEA.
I T I N^TT A MILITANT IDEA. NO ONE, WHETHER ARAB RULERS: ^F'
GOVERNMFNT ! SHOULD BE AcRR I D OF IT. NONE OF THEM SHOULD FEAR THIS
IDEA BECAUSE I T I S NOTT H CALL FOR INVASION OR FOR CARRYING
ARMS. THIS 1S A PEACEFUL CALL. NO ONE :HOLILLI IGNORE I T5 NOTT
E''EN THE APAF: RULER"-:. THE RESULTS OF SUCH AN IDEA COULD BE
ACHTE'."EP TN 5') FIFTY OR 100 HUNDRED YEARS: OR EVEN AFTEF'1 it TEN
YEARS. TH T IDEA S:H01_IL D DISTURB NO ONE. I T I S A CALL THAT CAN
BE ACHIEVED EVEN THROUGH THE ARAB LEqGHF--R CALL TO THE ARAB
POLITICAL PARTIES FOR A MEETING I N WHICH A NATIONAL DIALOG WILL
BE CONDUCTED :-:^ AS TO DEFINE THE PATH OF THE ARAB POLITICAL
MOVEMENT TOWARD ACHIEVING THE ARAB NATIONS STRATEGIC GOAL--- THAT
I THE UN I T'i LIBERATION, AND THE BUILDING OF THE STRENGTH OF
THE ARAB NATION.
THE PRESENT PICTURE I _ NOTT CLEAR ANTI THE PATH IS NOTT
DEFINED. THE NATIONAL AND DOMESTIC POLITICAL LINE I N THE ARAB
HOMELAND IS L APGFL'f UNDEFINED--THIS LINE IS I_^ST I N THE DESERT
OF THE ARAB I,I^F'L.D, LACKING DEFINITION AND A SPECIFIC TARGET.
I N St.ICH A MEETING THE ARAB POLITICAL PARTIES
AND MOVEMENTC COULD CPEATF FOR US A POLITICAL FRAMEWORK THAT WOULD
M-:G 094 OF 096 M.:G N^= 1542 FB PAGE A005 OF 0005 FILE-SAFEEA5
BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER IN THE FORM OF A SINGLE ARAB MOVEMENT.
THUS WE I IOLILD MAKE :-:LIFE THAT EVERY DAY THIS NATION WILL TAKE
ONE OR SEVERAL STEP:=: ON THE PATH ^F UNITY L I EERAT I ON, AND BUILDING
THE NATIONS STRENGTH. F'EAC:E BE UPON YOU.
