Both U.S. and Western European intelligence networks picked up signs of Russian military activity: mobilization ordered for two mechanized divisions near the Black Sea and a halt in Soviet military transport flights to Egypt and Syria. The cutoff in the flights carrying military supplies suggested that the giant Soviet planes might have been diverted home for troop movements. Intelligence experts feared that the Russian units might be sent in-at Sadat's urgent request-to help rescue the beleaguered Egyptian Third Army...
...Cutoff. Putting economic pressure behind their proposals, the Arab nations announced a cutback in oil production for export, pegging it at 5% each month. Aimed mainly at the U.S., the move was also intended to exert pressure on Washington through the nations of Western Europe and Japan, which are more dependent on Middle East oil than is the U.S. Saudi Arabia promptly went further, first declaring an immediate 10% cutback in oil production and then cutting off all oil shipments to the U.S., as did Abu Dhabi, Libya and Algeria...

There was no respite, however, in the controversy over the continuing U.S. role in Cambodia. The President served notice last week that he would respect his commitment to Congress to suspend the bombing on Aug. 15. But, in a letter to congressional leaders, he warned that the bombing cutoff represented the "abandonment of a friend" and could have "dangerous potential consequences" elsewhere in Asia, particularly in Thailand...
