Allison, even now insist that they have only drafted a preliminary paper-"to fix an agenda" for debating possible guidelines for portfolio and budget analysis in the dark fiscal days ahead. The Austin Committee on Corporate Enterprise, appointed by President Pusey last April during the GM proxy fight, has done that much less work.

Israeli Premier Golda Meir declared on television: "Had we known that things would develop as they have, with the Egyptian contravention of the ceasefire, we would not have agreed to enter into the peace talks. We have been bitterly disappointed." Israel Galili, the Minister without portfolio who is Mrs. Meir's closest adviser, told TIME Correspondent Marlin Levin: "The relations between Israel and the U.S. today are marked by tension and worry. If the U.S. does not see to it that the elements of the cease-fire are fulfilled, the conditions may be created...
