WASHINGTON, (JTA) President Carter has Indicated that he believes a Palestinian "homeland" within "the framework" of Jordan represents one possibility in solving the Middle Bast conflict. He told reporters that' his recent reference to "a Palestinian .home" was "appropriate." "I think some provision has got to be made for the Palestinians in the framework of the nation of Jordan or by some other means," the President was quoted as saying. But he declined to discuss ,what "other means" might be. ' Carter noted that Israel wants to deal with the Palestinian question within the framework of negotiations with Jordan, the reporters
said. He also observed that "Jordan, Syria and Egypt are still trying to decide what kind Of delegation the Arab countries want to have at a possible peace conference." The President also made it clear that U.S. policy has not, changed with respect to contacts with the PLO: When he was asked, before leaving New York, whether the fact that he shook hands with PLO representative Hassan Abdul Rahman at the UN reception in his honor implied that "there would be further contacts between the U.S. officially and the Palestine Libera-., tion Organization," Carter replied, "Well, I doubt that, not until the PLO changes its attitude toward Israel," (Continued on Page 2)
