The American Friends Service Committee has listed its speakers for its conference here Feb. 11-14 which is aimed at promoting United States recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization.

One of the speakers is Sabri Jiryis, the PLO representative who was ordered to leave the U.S. Nov. 30. The State Department said yesterday that Jiryis left the country and that any application to return would have to be examined in light of the fact that he listed false information on his original visa application.

Among speakers listed by the Committee in a brochure are Max Ticktin, vice-chairperson of Breira and assistant national director of B’nai B’rith Hillel, and Arthur Waskow, of the Institute for Policy Studies, Both were among five Jews who met with Jiryis and another PLO representative in Washington in November Other speakers include Richard A. Falk, of Princeton University, and Prof. Matti Peled, of Tel Aviv University.
