...lift the present average wage of about $5.80 an hour, an average of 5% a year, with the biggest boosts coming in the first year. The lowest-paid workers will get an 18.4% increase initially. In addition, each of the 352,000 workers covered will get a $150 cash bonus. The increases go into effect May 1-the day after wage-price controls are expected to die-though the current contract extends to Aug. 1.

...prepared for an agreement on disengagement with Syria. But we are not prepared to throw in any bonus for Assad's attack on us in October. We are not prepared to give him something beyond the 1967 border. We should be talking now only about the results of the October war. He has villages in the territory we captured, and he should be concerned about them. But he wants us to get off the Golan Heights entirely. There is no one who can honestly say to us, after seeing the situation on the Heights and listening to Assad, that...
