Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, meanwhile, was putting the final touches on what the Israelis are calling a "peace treaty" to discuss in Washington. The proposal is made up of 30 sections detailing in legal form a declaration of peace, exchange of ambassadors, resumption of trade relations and other workaday items. But there is no map showing what Israel's final borders might be and certainly nothing to indicate that Jerusalem will relent on its opposition to any negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
