...Cove Point plant is only one leg of an immense project known as El Paso I. The other leg is a terminal now under construction at Elba Island, near Savannah, Ga., that this summer will begin taking in 350 million cu. ft. of liquefied Algerian gas daily. The two terminals together will receive 1 billion cu. ft. a day, a rate sufficient to heat the homes of 9 million Americans...

There the Arab leaders of the so-called steadfast states, who oppose Sadat's peace initiative, were trying to develop a new strategy of their own.

Leader Yasser Arafat plans to fly to New York next month (aboard an Algerian-lent 707 jet) to push for a new United Nations resolution-to be introduced by an as yet undesignated Arab delegation-that will call for the recognition of Israel in exchange for solid guarantees of a Palestinian state...
