But even on this relatively simple matter, Sadat insists that he cannot sign a bilateral agreement with Jerusalem. He wants to link a Sinai accord with at least some progress (from the Arab viewpoint) on other fronts.

He specifically told the Egyptians and other leaders: "We are ready to transfer the airbase at Sharm el Sheikh to the U.N. and keep some civilian installations there for a limited period.
