Herzog rejected as ludicrous Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's call on the (General Assembly last week to accord the PLO full representative status at > the Geneva peace conference on an equal footing with all other participants. He noted that the Geneva conference was created within the framework o( Security Council Resolution 338 which bases ItseK on Resolution 242. "This resolution is unreservedly rejected by the PLO," Herzog stated. "Indeed, not even the government o( Syria has accepted Security Council Resolution 242. A specious argument put (orward to the etfect that the presence of the PLO at the Geneva conference would In itself imply an acceptance of 242 and recognltk)n o( the State o( Israel is completely invalid when seen against the realities o( the situation." Herzog said. He noted furthermore that the question of participation in the Geneva conference is dependent upon the agreement o( all states that are parties in the conterence.
