record ot hacbourinq and training terrorists. 2. On 31 Auqust 1985, an Israeli patrol boat detained the yacht "Ganda" ott tne coast ot southern Lebanon. The yacht attempted to escape and was captured. The crew included several members ot "Force 17", Yasir Aratat's hodyquard unit headauartered in Amman. They too were sent to perpetrate mass murder of Israeli civillans. These latest actions retlect a chanqe ot tactics by PLO tollowinq the tallure of its vessel 'Attivitus" to reach Israel on 21 April 1985 (A/40/270-5/17132 and Corr.1). Instead ot attemptinq to land directly in Israel, PLO terrorists now try to land in southern Lebanon and, with the help of PLO terrorists there, to infiltrate Israel by land. These and other PLO actions serve as sober reminders that PLO remains committed to the course of terror and violence. Recent PLO statements leave no doubt about this. On 13 May 1985, Yasir Arafat said in a PLO broadcast ttom Baqhdad that "the PLO will carry out further military operations and that naval operations will continue". On 28 Auqust 1985, Mr. Shimon Peres, the Prime Minister of Israel, said that "There is no doubt the PLO and Yasir Arafat personally direct these terror operations against Israel". I have the honour to reauest that this letter be circulated as an official document of the General Assembly, under items 38 and 130 of the preliminary list. and of the Security Council.

The language used is formal and official, suggesting a high-level government document.
