Israel Says No Need to Cede All Occupied Lands
Israel ambassador Simcha Dinitz told U S reporters after a meeting with Cyrus Vance that no U N resolution requires Israel to give up all occupied Arab territories or create a Palestinian homeland. He argued UN 242 and 338 remain the basis for negotiations and rejected calls for full withdrawal or compensation. Carter has pressed for withdrawal and a Palestinian homeland, while Israel maintains its positions on the borders and refugee issues.

Shoddy HUD Indian Housing Draws Fire in Report
A study by Nader's Center for the Study of Responsive Law criticizes HUD for failing Indian housing programs. The report notes only 22,000 of 55,000 promised homes built and widespread deficiencies including lack of running water and indoor toilets, overcrowding, and health impacts. It calls for a dedicated HUD Office of Indian and Alaska Native Affairs and more funding to remedy conditions.
