Yesterday The Crimson printed a letter to the editor in which Haneen M. Rabie '95 and Layla F. Sahyoun '94, members of the Society of Arab Students, charged me with racism in the handling of their Harvard Foundation grant application.

The Security Council, he advised, should use "whatever measures are required" to enforce the month- old resolution calling for the return of the deportees. The P.L.O., which has observer status at the U.N., is pushing hard among Arab and nonaligned members to bar Israel from international conferences on human rights. It also proposes barring nations from trading with Israeli companies that do business in the occupied territories...
