...biggest problem outstanding, as Rabin and Kissinger met at week's end at Schloss Gymnich, a guesthouse outside Bonn where Rabin had been installed by his West German hosts, was control of the Sinai passes. Egypt has insisted all along that Israel must completely withdraw from the Mitla and Giddi passes (see map), the most strategic points on the peninsula. Israel has similarly insisted, for internal politics as much as for anything else, that its defense requires a military presence in the passes. Jerusalem suggested a partial pullout and electronic surveillance on either side, a proposal Sadat rejected...
Both before and after his Saturday meeting in Bonn with Henry Kissinger, Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin discussed the current state of Middle East negotiations with TIME Diplomatic Editor Jerrold L. Schecter and Reporter David Halevy. Excerpts from the interviews...
American experts fear the safeguards are inadequate. The IAEA is understaffed and lacks experience in inspecting full cycle systems. Washington also worries that Bonn may have as little success monitoring reactors in Brazil as Ottawa did in India; the Indians were able to divert nuclear materials from a Canadian-supplied power reactor in order to explode their first atom bomb a year ago last May. Moreover, Brazil's professions that it would use its nuclear facilities only for peaceful purposes encounter some skepticism; Brasilia has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and there have been persistent reports that...

In mid-June representatives of the U.S., Soviet Union, Britain, France, West Germany, Japan and Canada (the so-called nuclear suppliers club) secretly gathered in London for their second meeting this year. The Bonn-Brasilia full cycle deal was apparently on their minds; it is believed they reached a consensus for drafting new controls for the transfer of nuclear supplies and technology. A new code, for instance, might force nuclear equipment buyers-like Brazil-to permit very strict inspection of all their atomic facilities. Moreover...
