Next day His Beatitude Paul Meouchi, onetime Los Angeles parish priest who is now patriarch of the Maronite Roman Catholic sect to which Chamoun and most Lebanese Christians belong, said in a press conference that the President should "take a trip" abroad and turn over power to Army Chief Brigadier General Fuad Shehab.
