Thank you. I appreciate the clarification, and I don't doubt its validity, but Olsen refers to it as a treaty. Now whether that is his own understanding, or a statement of Pollard's understanding, I do not know.
The one in question came out of this meeting. The President is President Reagan.
Remarks of the President and Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel Following Their Meetings
November 29, 1983
The President. We have held 2 days of intensive talks with Prime Minister Shamir and his colleagues, covering a broad range of subjects including political, military cooperation, Lebanon, Israel's economic situation, and the pursuit of the Middle East peace process. And these discussions, as could be expected between close friends and allies, have been very productive. We reconfirmed the longstanding bonds of the friendship and cooperation between our two countries and expressed our determination to strengthen and develop them in the cause of our mutual interests.
We have agreed on the need to increase our cooperation in areas where our interests coincide, particularly in the political and military area. And I am pleased to announce that we have agreed to establish a joint political-military group to examine ways in which we can enhance U.S.-Israeli cooperation. This group will give priority attention to the threat to our mutual interest posed by increased Soviet involvement in the Middle East. Among the specific areas to be considered are combined planning, joint exercises, and requirements for prepositioning of U.S. equipment in Israel.

If Olsen really thinks that an MOU is a treaty, then it's a good thing he's the FORMER Solicitor General.
