...ceasefire, the Secretary of State has switched the procedure. Since July he has been standing still in Washington while a procession of Middle Eastern diplomats shuttles in to see him. So far, the roster has included Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, Prime Minister Zaid Rifai of Jordan, Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy of Egypt, Jordan's King Hussein, Foreign Ministers Abdel Halim Khaddam of Syria and Omar Saqqaf of Saudi Arabia. This week the latest shuttler, Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin, arrives to spend four days conferring with Kissinger and President Ford...

First, Foreign Ministers Ismail Fahmy of Egypt and Omar Saqqaf of Saudi Arabia flew to Washington to confer with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Four days later, Kissinger dropped in on Mexico City for a conference of Latin American foreign ministers, where he called for "a new era of interdependence" in the hemisphere.
