MEMO FOR: HENRY A. KISC`1GER
FROM: PETER W. ROMAN '\,
a
Here is the full text of the Pravda editorial
of last week which:
-- reminded the Arabs that bath the
Democratic and GOP platforms pledged
support for Israeli policy.
-- called the Arabs to task for their
own disunity, their "underestimation of the
full seriousness of the situation,'' and their
toleration of reactionary regimes.
-- declared that only by strengthening
their unity and relying on the socialist
camp will the Arabs be able to attain a
just peace.
Some other recent propaganda pieces on
the sane theme are also included.
