LETTERS, Page 8Israeli View
In its brief profile of Israel's new Foreign Minister, Moshe
Arens (WORLD, Jan. 2), TIME stated that when Arens was Israel's
Ambassador to the U.S. in 1982, he "made enemies . . . by
misleading Washington about Israeli intentions in the conduct of
the war" in Lebanon. This accusation is evidently based on a story
TIME published in 1982 and is totally unfounded. On that occasion,
Arens met with TIME's editors and referred them to State Department
officials who had been present at that time to set the record
straight. It is surprising that this unfounded allegation should
crop up again 6 1/2 years later.

TIME's stories were based on interviews with U.S. Government
officials in 1982 and again in December 1988.
