Arafat—
Continued from page 1.
Hussein-Arafat initiative a year
a go, and Philip Wilcox, the
Department’s Israeli desk officer
who also handles Arab-Israeli
affairs. The meeting was described
to The Southern Israelite as “not
very pleasant.
For much of the time of Peres’
prime ministry. Secretary of State
George Schultz has communicated
with him rather than with his
counterpart Foreign Minister
Yitzhak Shamir as protocol would
appear to dictate, it was said here.
Ambassador Rosenne was said to
have been frequently bypassed,
particularly since the Pollard
affair.
Regarding the communications
on the concessions, Kalb em
phasized to reporters that “in the
past few months there were in
tensive discussions on the peace
process at the senior levels of the
governments of Israel as well as
with Jordan." However, he refused
when asked to name the Israeli
officials with whom the U.S. has
communicated.
Another aspect of the Hussein
speech was the possibility that it
would encourage the administra
tion to move soon again for
transfer of weapons to Jordan.
Only two weeks before the Hussein
speech, the administration had
withdrawn its request for a billion
dollar supply of arms to Jordan in
view of overwhelming opposition
in both branches of Congress
unless Jordan agreed to enter
direct peace talks with Israel.
Hussein has ruled out that Jordan
would negotiate alone with Israel.
He has said that his break with
Arafat is with Arafat only and not
with the PLO as an organization.
Nevertheless, some voices were
saying here that King Hussein now
merits arms. Praising Hussein, The
Washington Post has editorially
—Worker—
called congressional oppostion
“misguided policy.” However,
aides to Sen. John Heinz (R —
Penn.)and Rep. Larry Smith (D—
Fla.) who are key leaders in
opposing arms to Jordan without
direct talks have said that without
Hussein’s commitment to direct
talks they will not relent on the
arms transfer.
In his meeting with reporters,
Kalb reiterated the Department’s
acknowledgement of the accuracy
of Hussein’s statement regarding
the concessions. When asked for
“more light" on the U.S. position
toward the king’s speech, Kalb
then added, “However, that
quotation dealt with only one
aspect of that position as we
attempted to help to construct a
package that would facilitate
direct negotiations between Israel
and a Jordanian-Palestinian dele
gation looking for peace between
Israel and all its Arab neighbors.
“As is always the case in such
situations no single issue can be

about Weiss. “Zimmerman im
mediately asked Pouy to apolo
gize” to Weiss and “Pouy did for
his language,” the court found.
“Weiss was already upset and
humiliated by Pouy’s and
Zimmerman’s earlier religious
slurs, and the March 26 con
frontation, while clearly not
religious in nature, was the
traumatizing event which triggered
an obsessive, and perhaps vin
dictive reaction toward Pouy and
Zimmerman.”
After Weiss went to Zimmer
man’s supervisor about the matter,
Zimmerman retaliated against
Weiss “by criticizing and de
meaning Weiss for his work
performance in front of other
workers” and began to keep
“Memoranda for the Record to
build a record” against Weiss, the
court found. Zimmerman pro
posed Weiss’ removal on July 8,
1983, and his superior subse
quently made it effective for non
performance of duties.
"Continuous abusive language,
whether racist, sexist, or religious
in form, can often pollute a healthy
working environment by making
an employee feel uncomfortable or
unwanted in his surroundings,” the
court found. “In more extreme
cases, such as this one, it can even
severely effect the employee’s
emotional and psychological
stability.” The court found that
Weiss “conscientiously attempted
to do his job in spite of the difficult
circumstances” and his “perfor
mance was understandably below
average during this difficult
period.
“Once an employer has been put
on notice about religious harass
ment or retaliation, the employer
must do more than merely indicate
the existence of an official policy
against such harassment. Where
the employer’s supervisory per
sonnel acquiesced and participated
in such harassment, the burden on
an employer seeking to avoid
...liability is especially heavy,” the
court ruled. “Even though Weiss
repeatedly complained about
Zimmerman’s retaliatory actions,
agency officials took no action
against Zimmerman, and in fact
they relied almost exclusively on
Mr. Zimmerman’s representations
in deciding to remove the plaintiff.
“What went on here was not
lighthearted office joshing or
parochial humor,” Reidy wrote in
reference to planning in the office
of an Easter Pageant and mock
crucifixion and that Weiss, as the
office’s only Jew, would be “nailed
to the cross.” Reidy found that
“what happened here was a
travesty—a show of scorn and
taunts—which created a work
environment teeming with harass
ment, disrespect and ridicule.”

satisfactorily addressed without
reference to the full package of
which it is a part. Moreover, if that
package could have been con
structed, it goes without saying
that it would not have been
implemented without agreement
from all sides.
“Now that the PL.O has failed
the king’s test, there is no package
and this isolated question is moot.”
Kalb continued. “As we said this is
a time for reflection by all parties.
It is premature to assume how the
U.S. will deal with the key issues in
the future.
“For the record let me reiterate
the long-standing position of the
U.S. to the PLO. We will not
negotiate or recognize the PLO as
long as the PLO does not recognize
Israel’s right to exist. We have
made it clear that those who refuse
to renounce violence and terrorism
have no place at the negotiating
table."
