Your story "Peace: Risks and Rewards" [March 26] was notable for its failure to mention any rewards for Americans. Will this peace between Israel and Egypt better our relations with the U.S.S.R. or decelerate Moscow's growing influence over its neighbors, increase our access to energy sources, reduce our rate of inflation, improve our balance of payments, help balance our budget or increase our national security...
...universities would gain little from a ban on intelligence gathering under cover of overseas research. It would neither cause foreign countries to release secrets to American professors which they had not revealed before nor grant them any wider freedom of travel or access. Needless to say, strange research projects sustained by the CIA--such as MK ULTRA--discredit the agency and faculty concerned as do attempts by academics to spy on radical groups on campus. Congress must insist these activities cease immediately...

There is a very simple test of this thesis. If ARCO is genuinely interested in the value of the program, not the benefits of advertising, it will instantly agree to change the name rather than jeopardize the program...
