At meetings in recent weeks, the Soviets seemed interested in a trade-off whereby they would renew discussions on the establishment of consular relations with Israel and on the problem of Jewish emi gration in exchange for Israel's agreement to Soviet partici pation in the Middle East po litical process, including an international conference for Arab-lsraeli peace, Haaretz said. The contacts began early in October after Prime Minister Shimon Peres met with Sov iet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze in New York. The U.S.S.R. reportedly is reassessing its Middle East policy, and. according to re ports from Israeli ambassa dors in several European cap itals. Soviet diplomats have expressed regret over break ing relations with Israel in 1967. They have also indicated it was a mistake for Moscow to rely solely on Syria with respect to its interest in Mid dle East developments. Ac cording to Haaretz, the U.S.S.R. is aware of Israel's concerns. In all their discussions, Sov iet officials have called at tention to television programs and theatrical presentations in the Soviet Union devoted to Jewish themes as a sign of their willingness to re-examine Sov iet attitudes toward Israel.

He also has resigned from the boards of Yeshiva University, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, as a special adviser on Jewish affairs to the Republican National Committee and finance director of the National Jewish Coalition, a group supportive of the Republican Party. He with drew his $750,000 pledge to the planned Center for Jew ish l ife at Princeton University. Both the university and local UJ A-Federation officials say the loss of his pledges will not deter their fund-raising efforts.
