WASHINGTON (JTA) -
President Ford asked
leaders of both parties in
Congress last week to adopt
a joint resolution approving
the stationing of up to 200
American civilians in the
Sinai desert as part of the
second Sinai accord between
Israel and Egypt.'
The President also in¬
dicated at a White House
briefing, according to Sen.
Robert Byrd (D. W.Va.),
deputy majority * leader in
the Senate, that the foreign
aid bill of assistance to
Israel and its Arab neigh¬
bors will go to Congress after
the issue of an American
presence in the Sinai is
settled by Congress. Byrd
said that the aid package for
Israel will total between $2.2
billion and $2.3 billion of
which $1.5 billion will be in
military assistance. No
mention was made of the
amount the U.S. will expend
to provide oil for Israel but
this will be included in the
aid package..
The figure mentioned for
Israel is about $l billion less
than the amount Israeli
officials had indicated last
month Israel would need for

representative, Deputy
Secretary of State Alfred
Atherton had already
arrived in Geneva for that
purpose. He conferred for
nearly three hours with the
Israeli delegation before the
signing ceremonies, ap¬
parently to explain the
reasons for America's ab¬
sence.
The Soviet Union an¬
nounced earlier that it would
boycott the signing because
it "wants no part of
responsibility" for the pact.
Moscow officially informed
Syria and the Palestine
Liberation Organization of
its decision. According to
reliable sources, - the U.S.
decided at the last minute
not to attend the signing in
order to avoid the ap¬
pearance of a breach of
cooperation with the Soviets
in the Mideast. Minutes

NEW YORK (JTA) — A group of Jewish feminists
warned Aug. 26 that a Soviet-sponsored "conference of
socialist feminists" scheduled for East Berlin in Oc¬
tober may be used as a forum for anti>Jewish, anti-
Israel and anti-Zionist activities as was the recent
United Nations-sponsored International Women's.
Conference in Mexico City. The New York Chapter of
the Jewish Feminist Organization, a national group
which defines itself as defending the rights of Jewish
women everywhere declared at a press conference
that it will serve "as a watchguard for the Jewish
community to work to forestall the manipulation of -■
feminists everywhere as pawns" in the Arab attack on
Israel. The group began circulating a petition
denouncing the "Declaration of Mexico" for attacking
Zionism and Israel and linking them with colonialism,
imperialism and apartheid.
NEW YORK (JTA) - Anatoly Malkin, a 21-year-old
Moscow activist, was sentenced Aug. 26 after a oneT
day trial to three years in prison for "draft evasion," it
was reported here Aug. 27 by the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry. The sentence, which followed a two-
year sentence for Lev Roitburd, a 39-year-old Odessa
< activist, was denounced by Jerry Goodman, executive
director of the NCSJ, and the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry. "Soviet authorities are waging a war of
repression and arrests, whose face bears little
resemblance to that presented to the West at the
recently concluded Conference on European Security
and Cooperation," Goodman-said.
