...Rabin and Kissinger met at week's end at Schloss Gymnich, a guesthouse outside Bonn where Rabin had been installed by his West German hosts, was control of the Sinai passes. Egypt has insisted all along that Israel must completely withdraw from the Mitla and Giddi passes (see map), the most strategic points on the peninsula. Israel has similarly insisted, for internal politics as much as for anything else, that its defense requires a military presence in the passes. Jerusalem suggested a partial pullout and electronic surveillance on either side, a proposal Sadat rejected. The agreement being hammered...
This week the Energy Research and Development Administration, created by Ford last October to map out the nation's route to alternate sources of power (TIME, April 14), published its first recommendations.

...palpable sign of the quid pro quo exacted by the Soviets for its Black Sea fleet can be seen on any map of the Middle East. Cruisers bristling with missiles and advanced communications equipment put in regularly at Alexandria; Latakia, Syria; Berbera and Mogadishu, Somalia; and the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean. Though Moscow and Tripoli deny it, Middle East watchers expect the Soviets to soon expand to some prime Libyan military bases in exchange for the weapons deal just concluded...
