Consultations have begun in the Security Council to respond to the General Assembly's call for an investi- gation of the massacre in Beirut. Jordan has proposed that some prominent individual lead an investigation (b)(3) (b)(3) (b)(1) (b)(3) UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar has recommended consideration of special Security Council negotiations on the Middle East. Comment: There is widespread support for an investi- gation of the massacre but only on conditions acceptable to Lebanon. The Security Council probably will find an acceptable formula that does not provide for an on-site visit. The Security Council is unlikely to engage in serious negotiations on the Middle East. It will provide a forum for the various sides to elaborate their proposals and to urge the US to use its leverage on Israel to withdraw from Lebanon. 2 up CLLC TCS 2930/82 1 October 1982 (b)(1) (b)(3) (b)(3) (b)(3) Approved for Release: 2019/07/16 C06806137
