Argues that H. C. Kelman's (see record 1983-32571-001) recommendation that the US and Israel negotiate with the Palestine Liberation Organization is a misapplication of psychological principles to a political question and is based on a judgment of Yasser Arafat's "cognitive style," which conflicts with all the overt evidence. It is further argued that Kelman's hypotheses are not only without a scientific base but also serve to lend credibility to a man and an organization whose intentions have been cognitively and behaviorally clear--the end of the existence of Israel.
