The United Arab Federation's Foreign Minister, Mahmoud Fawzi, deplaned explaining that only ''very pressing and unforeseen circumstances" (i.e., an imminent trip to Moscow) prevented President Nasser himself from coming...
...point Nasser was adamant: the canal would be run exclusively by Nasser's Suez Canal authority, with no advice from anyone. But after weeks of talk in Cairo between Fawzi and U.S. Ambassador Raymond A. Hare, Nasser had gone a considerable way toward meeting the user nations' demands for protection against abuses.
