...Arab recognition of Israel's right to exist (see box). The Gulf States' endorsement could be the first step toward transforming the Fahd proposal into a pan-Arab peace plan, provided the Saudis can win approval for it at the 23-nation Arab League summit in Fez, Morocco, on Nov. 25. If the league, which includes the Palestine Liberation Organization, endorses the Fahd plan, the step would be the most important in Arab summitry since the Rabat meeting in 1974 that recognized the P.L.O. as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people...
...these Saudi statements is problematic. The Saudis have no diplomatic relations with the U.S.S.R. and have often denounced Communism as "godless." They may merely be trying to win a consensus in favor of the Fahd plan from pro-Soviet states at an Arab summit scheduled to convene in Fez, Morocco, on Nov. 25.

...world's unique and ubiquitous elder statesman without portfolio was talking, back in his Manhattan office, still tinged with jet lag from his visits to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco.

"No written report or anything like that," he says with a wave of his hand. "Nor am I going to take two hours talking to the President. That used to bore the dickens...
...Arab side, the reactions were even more disparate. A few states were stunned?Morocco, Oman, and the Sudan, which had been Sadat's closest ally and, like Egypt, had suffered from Libya's belligerency. But in Libya, happy flag-waving crowds shouted their approval. In Lebanon, Palestinian commandos danced in the streets as if celebrating a victory. "We shake the hand that pulled the trigger," said one fedayeen commander. Palestine Liberation Organization Leader Yasser Arafat, who was in Peking, declared: "What we are witnessing is the beginning of the failure of the Camp David agreement with the fall...
Neumann had another strike against him: his close association with Richard Allen, whom Haig dislikes. A scholarly former Ambassador to Afghanistan and Morocco, Neumann was vice chairman of the Georgetown University Center for Strategic and International Studies when Allen, a founder of the center, picked him to head Reagan's transition team at the State Department. Haig considered the team inept and unduly ideological, and dismissed most of its members as soon as he took office. Neumann survived-but without ever gaining the Secretary's trust...
