...official American reaction to the Israeli assault was contained in a private letter from Reagan to Begin. "Dear Mr. Prime Minister," it began. It was the first letter Reagan has not addressed "Dear Menachem" since the two men met last September. The President reminded Begin that U.S. weapons could only be used for defensive purposes. But a warning about possible sanctions that was included in an early draft was left out, partly at the behest of America's Ambassador to Israel, Samuel Lewis, who argued that even raising the issue would infuriate the Begin government.
