The Secretary-General would like to repeat that he regrets any decision which may result in the expansion or increase of settlements in the occupied territories. Such a decision would clearly be in contravention of resolutions and decisions of the General Assembly and the Security Council and can only hamper the search for a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of the Middle East problem. * ***• * For information media - not an official record STEVEN S.

KEW GARDENS, NEW YORK 11424 PUBLIC SAFETY TELEPHONE: 263-S7OO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Editor New York Times 229 West 43rd Street New York, New York 10036 Dear Sir: Under Secretary General for Public Information Yashushi Akashi's letter of Saturday, January 17, 1981 implied, undoubtedly intentionally, though most definitly erroneously, that a Security Council invitation to two West Bank Mayors to "appear" before that body was tantamount to an invitation by that body, and by reference, by the United States, to carry on a political demonstration in the hall- ways of the United Nations. Why must the Secretary General persist in his refusal to accept the responsibility for his own regrettable decision? I was also surprised at the writer's defense of the Secretary General's positions vis-a-vis terrorism and anti- semitism though my original letter, which prompted the Under Secretary's response, made no reference to either. To quote from Ross Baker's op ed article in the New York Times of January 20, 1981, "A clear conscience needs no public infor- mation officer." Very truly yours, STEVEN S.

It nay be recalled that on IT Dacesiber lOBo the Secretary -General addressed a nev appeal to Prime Minister Manachsn Begin in vhich hs •urged the Prime Minister to reconsider the decision of his Government to deport the Mayors of Hebron and Kolhoul and to permit the Pales- tinian leaders to return to the Vest Bank. This ratter was considered by the Security Council at its 2259th and 2260th nastings on 19 December 1930. At the latter nesting the Security Council adopted resolution USU (lOSo) in vhich ths Council reaffirmed tha applicability of the Fourth Gsneva Convention of 19^9 to all tha Arab territories occupied "by Israel in 19^>7> called upon Israel to adhere to the provisions of tha Convention and declared it imperative that the Mayor of Esbron and the Mayor of Halhoul be enabled to return to their hones and resume their responsibilities. The Council also requested the Secretary-General to report on the inplenen- tation of the resolution as soon as -possibla. The Bocrctary-G-eneral vishes to reiterate his appeal of 17 frs 1980 in the light of the above resolution. He vould also be grateful if the Govenuasnt of Israel vould provide him, as soon as possible, with all available information regarding the implementation of Security Council- resolution ItOU (i960) for inclusion in tha report vhich he is to submit to the Security Council.
