But after talking by phone with Begin, Arens in effect repudiated his statement and said that "basically it's a plan for the dismemberment of Israel...

...time has come to think about a personnel change in the union, even though Walesa is still a symbol of unity." Jozef Dudek, another radical from southern Poland, declared that sending Walesa to the summit talk was tantamount to "letting a single individual represent 10 million people." At that remark, Walesa snapped back. Said he: "I will represent 10 million members, Jaruzelski will represent the government, and Primate Glemp will represent the church...
