...promote the three-way federation, he was met by frantic crowds screaming: "One people, one people, one people!" Until his death, Nasser met regularly with Sudanese Leader Jaafar Numeiry and Libya's Muammar Gaddafi. At last week's meeting, Numeiry, Gaddafi and Nasser's successor, Anwar Sadat, produced a communiqué pledging to seek eventual political federation. To this end, they set up a "Tripartite Political Command...
...extended cease-fire does at least provide another period of calm in which U.N. Mediator Gunnar V. Jarring can attempt to initiate peace talks. Egypt's foreign minister, Mahmoud Riad, conferred with Jarring in New York last week, but President Anwar Sadat at the same time warned in Cairo that Egypt will scrap the cease-fire unless more serious negotiations take place.

They gave the 52-year-old former Vice President no more than a 90.04% naam vote, and 711,252 Egyptians voted la.

Egypt's constitution allowed up to 60 days for the country to select a successor to President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Only nine days were needed. Last week, in Cairo's Victorian National Assembly building, 353 members of the Assembly formally selected Vice President Anwar Sadat as the new leader of the country. This week the populace will vote in a yes-or-no national referendum. The outcome is so certain that preparations are already under way for Sadat's inauguration two days later...
