...Arafat, however, the gains made last week far outweigh the risks. Washington in effect recognizes the P.L.O. to be the sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. The implicit recognition marks a personal triumph for Arafat, who has been down so often but never out. His organization has been splintered by factionalism and scourged by armies from Jordan to Israel but never destroyed. He has promised his people much but ! never delivered. In 1982 he was drummed out of Lebanon, and just a year ago he was all but ignored at an Arab summit that consigned the Palestinian problem...

While the State Department has sole discretion for extending visas to foreigners, the first of last week's U.N. resolutions maintains that the anti-Arafat ruling violates the 1947 Headquarters Agreement between the U.S. and the U.N. That accord states that the U.S. will not keep out anyone who has business before the world body. Among international lawyers, the consensus was that the U.S. had breached its responsibility. "It is quite clear that the U.S. decision is wrong legally," said Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of State and an international lawyer. U.S. courts...
...past year, Yasser Arafat has been able to solidify his leadership among those involved in the intifadeh as well as among Palestinians in exile. As a result, the P.L.O. is established more firmly than ever as the sole representative of the Palestinian people. Israel can no longer reasonably hope that a group of West Bank or Gaza leaders unaffiliated with the P.L.O. will emerge...
