State George P. Shultz, on Sunday, that

Israel continues to do so, "it will only
'sink more deeply into the quagmire that
"r. looms before it."

, Mr. Reagan said the world corn-

troops occupy moch of the eastern part
et Lebanon and Israeli forces the capi-

"The place to begin this task IS in Bei-

peace and the future of mankind. For
the criminals whq did this deed, no
punishment is enough to remove the
blot of their crime. But for the rest of
us, there are things that we can learn
and things that we must do.
,
The Lessons for All
The people of Lebanon must have
learned that the cycle of massacre
upon massacre must end. Children
are not avenged by the murder of
other children.
Israel must have learned that there
is no way it can impose its own solu-
tions on hatreds as deep and bitter as
those that produced this tragedy. If it
seeks to do so, it will only sink more
deeply into the quagmire that rooms
before it, -
Those outsiders who have fed the ,
flames of civil war in Lebanon for so
many years need to learn that the fire
will consume them, too, if it is not put
out. - ?
And we must all rededicate Our-
selves to the cause of peace.
I re-emphasize my call for early
progress to solve the Palestinian issue
and repeatthe U.S. proposals, which
are now even more urgent. For now is
not the time for talk alone. Now is the
time for action; to act together to re-
store peace to Beirut, to help a stable
government emerge that can restore
peace and independence to all of Leba-
non and to bring a just and lasting
resolution to the conflict between Is-
rael and its Arab neighbors ? one that
satisfies the legitimate rights of the
Palestinians, who are all, too often its
victims.
The New York Times/Teresa Uinta,
President after his speech yester.;
day in the White House.
Our basic objectives in Lebanon`
have not changed for they're the ob-
jectives of the Government and the
people of Lebanon themselves. First,
and foremost, we seek the restoration
of a strong and stable central govern-
ment in that country, brought into
being by orderly constitutional pro-
cesses.
Lebhnon elected a new President
two short weeks ago only to see him
murdered even before he could as-
sume his office. This week, a dis.
tressed Lebanon will again be electing
a new President. May God grant him
safety as well as the wisdom and cour-
age to lead his country into a new and
happier era.
The international community has
an obligation to assist the Govern-
ment' of Lebanon in reasserting au-
thority over all its territory. Foreign
forces and armed factions have too
long obstructed the legitimate role of
the Government of Lebanon's Security
forces. We must pave the way for
withdrawal of foreign forces.
The place to begin this task is in Bei-
rut. The Lebanese Government must
be permitted to restore internal se-
cunty in its capital. It cannot do this if
foreign forces remain in or near Bei-
rut
French and Italians Consulted \
With this goal in mind, I have con-
sulted with our French and Italian
allies. We have agreed to form a new
multinational force similar to the one
which served so well last month, with
the mission of enabling the Lebanese
Gov.ernment to resume full sover-
eignty over its capital ? the essential
precondition for extending its control
over the entire country.
' The Lebanese Government, with the
support of its people, requested this
help. For this multinational force to
succeed, it is essential that Israel
withdraw from Beirut.
With the expected cooperation of all
parties, the multinational force will
return to Beirut for a limited period of
time. Its purpose is not to act as a po-
lice force but to make it possible for
the lawful authorities of Lebanon to
discharge those duties for themselves.
Secretary Shultz, on my behalf, has
also reiterated our views to the Gov-
ernment of Israel through its Ambas-
sador in Washington. Unless Israel
moves quickly and courageously to
withdraw, it will find itself ever more
deeply involved in problems that are
not its own and 'which it cannot solve.
The participation of American
forces in Beirut will again be for a lim-
ited period. But I've concluded there
is no alternative to their returning to
Lebanon if that country is to have a
chance to stand on its own feet.
? Withdrawal of Foreign 'Forces
Peace in Beirut is only a first step.
Together with the people of Lebanon,
we seek the removal of all foreign
military forces from that country. The
departure of all foreign forces at the
request of the Lebanese authorities
has been widely endorsed by Arab as
well as other states. Israel and Syria
have both indicated that they have no
territorial ambitions in Lebanon and
are prepared to withdraw.
It is now urgent that specific ar-
rangements for withdrawal of all for-
eign forces be agreed upon. This must
happen very soon. The legitimate se-
cunty concerns of neighboring states,
including particularly the safety of Is-
rael's northern population, must be
provided for. But this is not a difficult
task if the political will is there.
The Lebanese people must be al-
lowed to chart their own future. They
must rely solely on Lebanese armed
forces who are willing and able to
bring security to their country. They
must be allowed to do so. And the
sooner, the better.
- Ambassador Draper, who's been in
close consultation with the parties
concerned in Lebanon, will remain in
the area to work for the full imple-
mentation of our proposal. Ambassa-
dor Habib will join him, will represent
me at the inauguration of the new
President of Lebanon and will consult
_ with the leaders in the area. He will
return promptly to Washington to re-
port to me. ,
A New Responsibility
Early in the summer, our Govern-
ment met its responsibility to help re-
solve a severe crisis and to relieve the
Lebanese people of a crushing burden.
We succeeded. Recent events have
produced new problems and we must
again assume our responsibility.
I am especially anxious to end the
agony of Lebanon because it is both
right and in our national interest. But
I'm also determined to press ahead in
the broader effort to achieve peace be-
tween Israel and its Arab neighbors.
The eyents in Beirut of last week
have served only to reinforce my con-
viction that such a peace is desper-
ately needed and that the initiative we
undertook on Sept. 1 is the right way to
proceed.
We not he discouraged or de-
terred in our efforts_ to seek peace in
Lebanon and a just and lasting peace
throughout the Middle East.
All of us must learn the appropriate
legsons from this tragedy and assume
the responsibilities that it imposes
upon us. We owe it to ourselves and to
our children. The whole world will be
a safer place when this region, which
has known so much trouble, can begin
. to know peace instead.
Both our purpose and our actions
are peaceful And we're taking them
in a spirit Of international coopera-
tion. So tonight I ask for your prayers
and your support as our country con-
tinues its vital role as a leader for
world peace, a role that all of us as
Americans can be proud of.
Thank you and God bless you.

is no alternative to their returning to
Lebanon if that country is to have a
chance to stand on its own feet.
? Withdrawal of Foreign 'Forces
Peace in Beirut is only a first step.
Together with the people of Lebanon,
we seek the removal of all foreign
military forces from that country. The
departure of all foreign forces at the
request of the Lebanese authorities
has been widely endorsed by Arab as
well as other states. Israel and Syria
have both indicated that they have no
territorial ambitions in Lebanon and
are prepared to withdraw.
It is now urgent that specific ar-
rangements for withdrawal of all for-
eign forces be agreed upon. This must
happen very soon. The legitimate se-
cunty concerns of neighboring states,
including particularly the safety of Is-
rael's northern population, must be
provided for. But this is not a difficult
task if the political will is there.
The Lebanese people must be al-
lowed to chart their own future. They
must rely solely on Lebanese armed
forces who are willing and able to
bring security to their country. They
must be allowed to do so. And the
sooner, the better.
- Ambassador Draper, who's been in
close consultation with the parties
concerned in Lebanon, will remain in
the area to work for the full imple-
mentation of our proposal. Ambassa-
dor Habib will join him, will represent
me at the inauguration of the new
President of Lebanon and will consult
_ with the leaders in the area. He will
return promptly to Washington to re-
port to me. ,
A New Responsibility
Early in the summer, our Govern-
ment met its responsibility to help re-
solve a severe crisis and to relieve the
Lebanese people of a crushing burden.
We succeeded. Recent events have
produced new problems and we must
again assume our responsibility.
I am especially anxious to end the
agony of Lebanon because it is both
right and in our national interest. But
I'm also determined to press ahead in
the broader effort to achieve peace be-
tween Israel and its Arab neighbors.
The eyents in Beirut of last week
have served only to reinforce my con-
viction that such a peace is desper-
ately needed and that the initiative we
undertook on Sept. 1 is the right way to
proceed.
We not he discouraged or de-
terred in our efforts_ to seek peace in
Lebanon and a just and lasting peace
throughout the Middle East.
All of us must learn the appropriate
legsons from this tragedy and assume
the responsibilities that it imposes
upon us. We owe it to ourselves and to
our children. The whole world will be
a safer place when this region, which
has known so much trouble, can begin
. to know peace instead.
Both our purpose and our actions
are peaceful And we're taking them
in a spirit Of international coopera-
tion. So tonight I ask for your prayers
and your support as our country con-
tinues its vital role as a leader for
world peace, a role that all of us as
Americans can be proud of.
Thank you and God bless you.
