Writing in the winter issue of Foreign Policy, Hermann Eilts, former U.S. Ambassador to Cairo and a participant in the Camp David summit, contends that Sadat set aside some of his misgivings partly because of two assurances he received from President Carter, neither of which was fulfilled. One was that the U.S. could "deliver" Saudi support for the agreement.
