After meeting three times last week in the bank building at Al Mahattah, the four-man security committee agreed to open the highway south of Beirut and to set up a joint liaison center at which cease-fire violations could be reported.

Her office predicts that Reagan will be proved as correct as Churchill was in the 1930s, and his critics as discredited as Neville Chamberlain.
