...economic ills-an old-fashioned remedy that his manner somehow made sound newly promising; he sharply criticized General Motors for its recently announced price increases of almost 10% (see THE ECONOMY). He gave much time to world affairs, including the crisis in Cyprus, met with the Soviet and Egyptian ambassadors, entertained the King of Jordan, accepted an invitation to visit Japan this fall, all the while continuing to reassure the U.S.'s allies that the basic foreign policy of the Nixon Administration remained unchanged (see box page 12).

President Anwar Sadat had already announced extensive plans for free-trade zones, but it remained for Simon and Hegazi to nail down three crucial brass tacks: 1) an agreement to reinstate a 1963 accord, suspended after the Six-Day War, that pledges Egypt not to expropriate U.S. property without compensation, 2) a plan for a "joint development institute" in Cairo to advise U.S. firms on the feasibility...
