She was a member of the Brookings Institution's Middle East Study Group in 1975 and 1987-88 and is a former U.S. representative at the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. Ms. Hauser was also a U.S. delegate to the 24th U.N. General Assembly and has long been active in Republican party circles. In December 1988, she led a group of American Jews in meetings with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat in Stockholm and Geneva. The delegation was instrumental in Arafat's explicit clarification that the PLO had recognized Israel, accepted Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 and renounced terrorism, a move that prompted the Reagan administration to open a “substantive dialogue” with the PLO. The following interview was conducted by Roger Gaess, a free-lance journalist, on December 20, 1991, at Ms. Hauser's office in midtown Manhattan.
