Social Security System - In Algiers the minister of social
protection, Mrs Ounissi, has installed the officials in charge of
setting up the new social security system. In essence, this system
sets up a unique social security arrangement, as well as unique
tutellage. It also provides for the creation of two national
offices: one in charge of social insurance, labor accidents, and
family allowances, and the other exclusively in charge of retire-
ment. These two offices have the legal status of an administrative
public body. [Text] /Algiers Domestic Service in French 2200

At" adhahafiiAddresses Teachers Seminar 19 Nov
N 200849 Tripoli Domestic Service
in Arabic 0600 GMT 20 Nov 85
[Text] The leader of the revolution met yesterday with the
participants of the first seminar of Al-Fatih University's Libyan
teachers. The seminar is currently under way under the motto:
The sanctity of science, which goes hand-in-hand with the move-
ment of the Jamahiriyah society.
Opening the debate, the brother leader emphasized that there are
no obstacles to the people's initiative and individual creativity.
Such obstacles, if they arise, must be attacked and destroyed. He
noted that the Jamahiriyah system, which is based on the masses,
is the civilized and appropriate vessel for their creativity. He
added: The revolution's objective is to remove any hindrance
obstructing man's excellence and freedom, as opposed to that of
governmental systems, which exploit all functionaries to serve the
interests of these systems. No historical, national, or scientific
research can be done in these systems, he noted, because these
types of systems hinder the people's initiative and individual
creativity, which are not in harmony with the nature of these
systems and run counter to the basis on which these systems are
established.
The leader emphasized that no one had managed to do historical
research in Libya prior to the revolution. Had such research been
done, it would have exposed the falsity of the family of [former
Libyan King Idris] al-Sanusi. This research would have shown
that it was a colonial protege and that it had purposely obliterated
the true history of the stages of Libyan struggle, as well as the
history of thousands of martyrs who fell defending the homeland.
The leader stressed that the reason for some countries' backward-
ness is that the systems they have do not allow their rulers to
order any scientific research that contradicts the nature of these
systems. This has compelled these systems to challenge the
imperialism of the West, the progress of which was achieved at
the expense of the great majority of the people and with the
minority accumulating all the wealth. He went on to say:
Thousands of workers there are unemployed and thousands of

families are living in extremely bad conditions because that
wealth has been stolen by a minority, which utilized it for the
development of certain industries. Thousands of the unemployed
in the West could have lived on that wealth.
The leader noted that the Jamahiriyah system, which is different
from all the systems prevailing in the world, enables the human
being to excell as much as he wants to without any fear or
restriction. He pointed out that the revolution encourages the
revolutionary people's initiative and this breaks the shackles,
frees people to choose their own destiny, and enables them to get
rid of oppression, exploitation, profiteering, rents, and service
charges [ujrah]. The brother leader stressed the need to seize this
historic opportunity to do scientific research, unleash creativity,
and gain self-reliance in all fields so as to achieve Libyan goals,
the goals for which we have carried out this revolution.
The brother leader highlighted the importance of scientific
research and the substantial role the universities will play in it,
along with their educational responsibility. He also talked of the
need to get rid of any hindrance to the achievement of this
objective. He noted the shortcomings in colleges and universities
in this respect. He said that there were no justifications for such
shortcomings in the Jamahiriyah society. He asserted that school
curricula must be revolutionized so that scientific research in
theoretical and applied fields can proceed in the required direc-
tion. He declared that the present school curricula do not move
the young to condemn oppression and exploitation. He described
the flagrant social disparity during the defunct regime and
colonial era as destructive to society. He pointed out that the lack
of social justice at the time corrupted the people's morality and
brought the U.S. and British bases to squat on the country's soil
- and 20,000 Italians, who treated the people underfoot and
owned all the land.
The brother leader noted that some social and psychological
diseases still exist and must be conquered. There is also some
material underdevelopment, which requires that we destroy the
residues of the abominable past. The brother leader said that the
state of the masses means the freedom of these masses to create
and build and do what they deem suitable to meet their needs.
These masses are entirely free to break their shackles and resist
any foreign or domestic challenge, whether material or psy-
chological.
The brother leader declared that the Libyan people are ready to
resist and defeat America if it tries to attack us on our land, or
on Sudanese, Tunisian, or Algerian soil. In this connection, he
noted the Lebanese people's resistance to the U.S. presence in
Lebanon, and added: Had the Lebanese people not confronted
the U.S. forces and paid the price, they would have not been able
to kick them out of their territory.
The brother leader explained that the university teaching staff
have responsibilities to shoulder and that they could be called to
account by the masses if these duties are not fulfilled. Fie stressed
that this seminar must approve all matters affecting the teaching
staff. The duties of each and every member of the staff -
whether related to the curricula, higher studies, and scientific
research or to problems of interest to them such as university
self-management - should be outlined, he said.
The students, he added, should be left free to set up their
conferences and committees and to take charge of the cleaning,
production, and militarization Itajyishihal of the university. He
added that the students' domiantion of the university must not
affect the professor's prcrrogative to teach and grade in absolute
liberty. These should not be subject to any influence other than
the student's deepest understanding.
The brother leader called on the teaching staff to form a syn-
dicate, trade union, or conference of their own to protect their
rights and follow up on the fulfilment of their duties. This, he
said, will pave the way for creating consultative working oppor-
tunties, for which purpose this seminar is being held.
The brother leader of the revolution called on the conferees to
pay great attention to the establishment of scientific research
centers affiliated with the university. He added that these centers
should submit their preliminary studies to the people's congress
for approval and endorsement. He emphasized the need for the
Libyan people to depend on themselves and rely on their own
production and find an alternative for oil, which sooner or later
will dry up. He said: It is your responsibility as specialists in
these fields to explain this to the citizens.
The brother leader called on the participants to expand the base
of scientific research and to link the scientific research centers to
the university laboratories, and then to turn to application in the
field. He noted that Libya is a state for the masses, and added:
I am ready to embark on any revolutionary act and to go into
battle again if I realize that anything is restricting the masses's
uprising and freedom, because this is the revolution's philosophy
and its ultimate goal.

Libya-Iraq Summit Said Expected 'Very Soon'
GF161059 Doha QNA in Arabic 0953 GMT 16 Nov 85
[Text] Kuwait, 16 Nov (QNA) - Quoting knowledgable sources,
press reports in Rabat have affirmed the possibility of convening
an Iraqi-Libyan summit very soon.
The Kuwaiti newspaper AL-WA TAN reports that it is better for
the door to remain open with regard to the venue of the summit
although some Iraqi officials expect Riyadh to be the location.
The newspaper reports that the dominating belief is that a senior
Iraqi personality will visit Tripoli and a senior Libyan official will
visit Baghdad later in order to prepare for the summit between
the Iraqi and Libyan leaders, which is expected to be followed by
an official announcement on resuming diplomatic relations
between the two countries.
AI-Turayki on Relations with Iraq, Maghreb Ties

[Report on Interview with Foreign Liaison Secretary 'Abd al-
Salam al-Turayki by Talhah Jibril in Rabat; date not given]
[Excerpts]The Libyan secretary of foreign liaison confirmed that
Libya will participate in the ordinary Arab summit to be held in
Saudi Arabia. He described Saudi-Libyan relations as good and
being conducted within a framework of joint cooperation and
contacts in various fields.
Regarding the work of the second committee for clearing the
Arab air, which met in Rabat in order to resolve the Libyan-Iraqi
dispute, al-Turayki told AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT in Rabat that
if there are points of difference between the two countries this
does not mean that there are no points of agreement. It is natural
for relations between Libya and Iraq to be good and for there to
be cooperation. What is unnatural is the opposite.
Referring to the Iraq-Iran war and Libya's attitude toward it,
the Libyan official said that this war should be contained and
should end in the interest of all parties, adding that the continu-
ation of this war is not in the Arab nation's interest. Libya is
ready to make efforts in order to stop the war. The restoration of
relations between Iraq and Libya to normal would solve all
problems, he said.
Regarding what went on at the meetings of the committee to
clear the air between the two countries, al-Turayki said that both
sides explained their views at the meeting. The committee lis-
tened to both sides in order to identify the points of agreement
and disagreement. It would be illogical to expect that the problem
will be solved in a matter of hours, adding that the committee
has studied the points of difference and decided to hold contacts
with the leaderships of both countries in order to reach a solution.
Asked whether the committee has reached specific points for
solving the Iraqi-Libya disputes, Al-Turayki said that the com-
mittee has found that both sides wish to solve the problem. In
order to pave the way to the committee meeting we halted media
campaigns and refrained from raising problems that might ham-
per the committee's efforts.
Regarding Libyan-Palestinian relations, Al-Turayki said that
there is no problem between Libya and the PLO; the problem is
between the Palestinians themselves. Libya differs only with the
PLO leadership's political line, adding that Libya recognizes the
PLO as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian
people and has constantly confirmed this in joint statements on
this subject as well as at the United Nations.
Replying to a question on the Sahara problem and the recent
developments, particularly at the United Nations, Al-Turayki
said: A referendum must be held in accordance with the OAU
and UN resolutions. In our view the holding of a referendum is
the way to ensure the solution of the problem. Morocco's and the
Polisario's acceptance of a referendum is something positive, and
such a referendum should be held as early as possible.
Asked about Libyan-Algerian relations, the Libyan official said:
"I cannot say that relations between Libya and Algeria are in a
state of crisis. There are more things that link us together then
separate us, but we believe that the present coolness in the
relations is due to the incorrect interpretation by the Algerian
brothers of the union between Libya and Morocco."
He added: Some of the Algerian brothers believe that this
union is directed against Algeria. We have affirmed and continue
to affirm that this union is not directed against sisterly Algeria:
Indeed, it is a unifying Arab action that could contribute to the
strengthening of relations between the countries of the Arab
Maghreb and achieve unity in the region.
On Inter-Arab Relations
GF190746 Manama WAKH in Arabic 0645 GAIT 19 Nov 85
[Text] Abu Dhabi, 19 Nov (WAKH) - Libyan Secretary of
Foreign Liaison 'Abd al-Salam al-Turayki has expressed his
country's readiness to discuss pending matters with Iraq, as this
stems from the keenness to end Arab differences. He pointed out
that there are neither substantial differences with Iraq nor border
differences. In a statement to UAE newspaper AL-ITTIHAD
published today, Al-Turayki reiterated his country's readiness to
ameliorate relations with Tunisia and restore diplomatic rela-
tions, but contended that there has been no mediation between
the two countries in this direction.
