Rich and Poor Seek Cooperation at UN Economic Session
Western delegates at the UN General Assembly special economic session say conciliation replaces confrontation. A 16 page declaration to narrow the rich poor gap was adopted unanimously, with support from Dutch minister Jan Pronk and U.S. assistant secretary Thomas Enders. The document moves toward negotiations, and calls for coordinated price stabilization measures and new funding arrangements, while nations reserve several points including aid share and SDR linkage.

The Post cited diplomatic sources indicating the Geneva conference could reconvene by year end or early 1976 if substantive talks resume. A U S Israel memorandum states the United States will not recognize or negotiate with the PLO absent recognition of Israel's right to exist and will push for bilateral talks between Israel and individual Arab states.
