Perhaps the most enthusiastic sponsor of the conference is Egypt's Anwar Sadat. One of his advisers, alluding to the Egyptian military crossing of the Suez Canal in October, last week referred to Sadat's decision to begin peace negotiations as "the political crossing." Most participants assume that the conference can accomplish little until after the Israeli elections on Dec. 31.

As other economic aid was cut, the United States continued a high level of military aid to Chile, which was second only to its aid to Brazil between 1950 and 1970. Four thousand Chilean officers were trained in the Panama Canal Zone. General Pinochet, the head of the junta, had been Chile's military attache to the United States, and each of the other junta generals had spent some time in this country.
