A senior U.S. official, who briefed reporters on the two-hour meeting between the two leaders, gave no details about plans for an expanded force, which now includes about 1,200 U.S. Marines. Israel has made it clear that it does not want U.S. forces in Israeli-dominated southern Lebanon. Still, an expanded force could supervise the withdrawal of Israeli and Syrian troops from Lebanon, which Reagan and Gemayel are said to want by the end of the year. Reagan said, however, "I can't pick a date." Reagan also told reporters that pro- gress had been made toward a troop withdrawal, which he called the "imme- diate problem." He also promised that "we'll do all that we can" to provide assistance for the rebuilding of Lebanon. Earlier, with Gemayel standing by, Reagan said, "I reaffirmed the United States support for the sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and freedom of Lebanon." Gemayel responded: "We see the U.S. American Marine Corporal John Brogdon mans a Dragon anti-tank weapon South of Beirut International Airport. role as the indispensable ingredient to bring peace not only to Lebanon but also 21.
