About the best the Administration can hope for from Carter's talks with Sadat and Begin is that the three leaders will agree to instruct their negotiators -Sol Linowitz of the U.S., Interior Minister Yosef Burg of Israel and Premier Mustafa Khalil of Egypt-to convene in Washington for a final round of intensive negotiating. The May 26 date could readily be waived if substantial progress is being made. But if these tripartite talks turn out to be unsuccessful, White House officials are unenthusiastic about calling another Camp David summit meeting and thus putting the President on the spot...
...Brown is regarded as a skilled technocrat but cautious to a fault on policymaking. CIA Director Stansfield Turner makes a very limited contribution. Adding to the disarray, Carter has repeatedly replaced his chief emissary to the Middle East. After Vance came Robert Strauss, who was soon succeeded by Sol Linowitz in a role in which continuity is of great importance...

Reason: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait...
...discussions with Linowitz at the Israeli resort of Herzlia, Egypt's Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil and Israel's Interior Minister Yosef Burg agreed on a number of low-level categories of responsibility that will eventually be exercised by a self-governing council representing Palestinian Arabs in the occupied territories. Linowitz happily declared that "very significant progress" had been made in the negotiations. Nonetheless, Egypt and Israel remain far apart on many key issues. Among them: security, control of land and water, and the status of East Jerusalem...
