In Washington, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said the landing of the Marines depended on Israel's withdrawal from "the entire city," not just west Beirut and the airport "They're not going in because the conditions necessary for the success of the multinational force have not yet been fully established," he said Speaking on ABC's "This Week with David Brinkley," Weinberger said the United States hoped the Marines "can go in. probably with some luck, Tuesday or Wednesday The conditions, Weinberger said, in elude demands that Israeli troops leave both east and west Beirut and turn over the airport to (he multinational peacekeeping force In other developments Sunday I ebanese stale television said President Amin Opmayel is expected to go to New York sometimp in October to address the General Assembly It attributed the report lo informed sources and quoted them as saying Cemaypl also would go to Washington for talks with President Reagan Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat said the American government, not Israel's, is responsible for the massacre of hundreds of See ISRAEL, Back Page This Section laaaLLHat.BiBiBiL1F BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBPIHLABiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiH IKaaaBiBiDVr lalsBHJBBMBllf LatalelH laBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSBBHBHaBBBBBBBBBBBBBBairBBBtf I UsET?
