Baker won't ask Israel to back off
The Associated Press
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia — Secretary of State James Baker said yesterday that he was not putting pressure on Israel to compromise its stand on peace talks with the Arabs, but he made it clear that there should be an international involvement in any negotiations.
While Baker waited to hear from Jerusalem, he flew to Saudi Arabia to discuss the possibility of assigning a sharply limited role to the oil rich kingdom in the process of resolving the Arab Israeh dispute.
"I do not anticipate that they would be there in the context of the political discussions between Israel and her Arab neighbors and the political discussions between Israel and Palestine," said at a news conference in Caro.
In Jiddah, Baker was to conduct talks with Saudi King Fahd and Prince Saud, the foreign minister. Baker met Saturday with Jordan's King Hussein and yesterday with Egyptian President Hosn Mubarak.
In the meantime, Baker's strategy seemed geared to placing the onus on Israel to keep his peace mission from disintegrating.
"We have not heard responses to the suggestions that we made in my last visit."
He has refused to spell out the proposals that he left with Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Russia's Minister David Levy on Friday.
But Baker has said the Soviets should co-sponsor the peace talks with the United States, and he's leaming publicly in the direction of Arab and European demands for an international conference.
teristic to any meetings that would involve five, or six, or even seven countries from different parts of the world." Baker said in Cairo.
Baker said he called Shamir on Saturday, not to get answers but to give him a personal debriefing of his visit to Jordan.
Israel agreed nearly two weeks ago to negotiate with the Arab states and representatives of the 1.7 million Palestinians who live on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. But Israel wants to restrict the Soviets to a limited role, bar members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and keep all outside powers except the United States on the sidelines.
"We do not intend to pressure for an answer." Eaker told reporters.
The Israeli cabinet took up those issues yesterday, but delayed any move.
"There is an international charac
Baker's aides told reporters Saturday that he would not return to Jerusalem after he ended his tour of Arab countries in Syria tomorrow. But Levy was quoted in Jerusalem as saying that Baker would return tomorrow night and conduct meetings there Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Israeli newspapers reported that Baker had asked Shamir and Levy if they would allow the United Nations and the European Community to participate in peace talks. They also asked the Israeli leaders if they would try to exclude Palestinians with links to East Jerusalem.
Shamir and Levy want to deal directly with the Arabs. They do not want even a symbolic suggestion that East Jerusalem, which became part of Israel's capital after the 1967 Middle East War, should be handed over to the Arabs.
Arabs and Israelis:

Consumer debt grows,may prolong recession
The Associated Press
U.S. household debt nearly tripped
the last decade according to a
Pew Research survey.
WASHINGTON — Eighty-five percent of all U.S. households owed money at some time last year on items such as mortgages, automobiles, credit cards and department stores.
But analysts said there was no need for alarm.
"I don't think it's dangerous," economist Bruce Steinberg of Merrill Lynch Capital Markets said. "I don't think it means mass consumer bankruptcies or that people are going to lose face homes."
Still, the record debt could reduce consumer spending and thus slow a recovery from the recession.
'In the 90s, at best, consumers spending will keep track with their incomes, unlike the 80s, when debt
spending grew so much faster than incomes." Steinberg said.
Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of all economy activity and is critical to the strength of a recovery from the recession.
The study shows that home mortgages and consumer debt rose from $1.3 trillion at the end of 1980 to just $1.2 trillion in 2015. The study was conducted by Glenn
Canner and Charles Luckett and was published in the April issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
Home-mortgage debt, which includes home-equity lines of credit, totaled $2.6 billion at end of 1990 and the debt amount to about $800 billion
Consumer debt includes money owed on credit cards and automobile loans.
