Abstract: The United States has sought to protect its vital interests in the Middle East by seeking to prevent hostilities, to maintain close relations with all nations of the area, to limit the arms race, and to promote a just and lasting peace. The framework for a just and lasting peace is the United Nations Security Council Resolution of November 22, 1967. The administration of President Nixon has pursued this objective through an intensive series of meetings with representatives of the parties concerned, through bilateral discussions with the Soviet Union, and through four-power talks in the United Nations context. All of our efforts in the bilateral and multilateral context are designed to assist Ambassador Jarring in his mandate to promote agreement between the parties on the basis of the principles of the United Nations Resolution. The great-power talks are not a mechanism to impose peace. Rather, the views expressed by the great powers could serve to narrow the differences now dividing Israel and the Arab states.
