...hours on Thursday, the two leaders discussed the U.S. proposals and Egypt's response to them. Even more extensive negotiating went on between Vance and Khalil. Few clues emerged, however, about the course of the talks. When a reporter asked Sadat what he had discussed with Carter, the Egyptian replied, "No comment. This is another Camp David." He was referring to the complete secrecy that cloaked the September summit...
...event of Carter's first full day in Israel was his Sunday meeting with Begin and senior members of the Premier's Cabinet. There Carter formally presented Sadat's objections to the U.S compromise. And once again Carter, assisted by Vance, sought to bridge the not yet publicly disclosed Egyptian-Israeli differences.

...desert kingdom, its internal stability and its political moderation in Arab affairs, Washington has regarded Riyadh's support for the Camp David accords as vital to the success of any peace settlement.

The continued upheaval in Iran and the growth of Soviet influence in South Yemen...
...this adventure lies on down the road, perhaps months away, as has been the case with most of the President's international initiatives. The record is not encouraging. Dramatic moments too often were revealed in hindsight to have been hastily prepared. Some people fear that an Israeli-Egyptian treaty could isolate Sadat in the Arab world, deepen hostility to the U. S. and ultimately create grave threats to our oil imports. Carter hears these doubts-or does he? The increasingly personal nature of his leadership sometimes seems to be a protective device destined to give him room to maneuver...
