Just 100 yds. away, Secretary of State George Shultz was in his office, talking by phone to Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres about the hostage crisis. After the killings, security was tightened, including some searches of attache cases. Still, unsettled officials admitted that lapses can always occur. Said one: "We have to function. Are we going to search 10,000 people a day? I don't think you can ensure that a tragic incident like this will never happen...
...dilemma was complicated by the fact that only last month the government of Prime Minister Shimon Peres provoked a national uproar with a perceived departure from that principle. To secure the release of three Israeli soldiers who had been captured and held by Palestinians during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, Jerusalem granted freedom to 1,150 mostly Palestinian prisoners, including 167 convicted terrorists.

Prime Minister Shimon Peres last week told a U.S. television interviewer that Israel's close relationship with the U.S. obviates any need to smuggle out sensitive technology. Israeli officials at first did not seem to appreciate U.S. concern about the problem. Federal prosecutors say the Israelis were recalcitrant in the early stages of the investigation but later became considerably more cooperative. State Department officials said last week that...
