Determined to avoid any incident that might mar the first meeting between Ford and Sadat, Austrian officials mounted a massive watch over the Salzburg sessions. More than 2,200 Austrian police and security men were mobilized, to add to the small armies of plainclothesmen that Ford and Sadat were bringing. Armored cars and armed soldiers ringed Salzburg's airport, and detecting devices were strung around the airport to ward off intruders...
