They included John Tower of Texas, Paul Fannin of Arizona, Robert Dole of Kansas. They met for an hour, exchanged cordial remarks and received presidential gifts. The same day, Nixon held another meeting, this one with New York Senator James Buckley.

Nor does he want to antagonize the Soviets at a critical moment with an unseemly show of independence. Thus, Egypt's President went out of his way to be cordial last week, even to the point of making some sharp anti-American remarks. "The U.S., with its military and material support of Israel," he said, "has actually thwarted peace endeavors, enabling aggression to gain ground...
