There was a slight sense of deja vu about the scene in the White House East Room last week. Just 26 days earlier, Jimmy Carter had sat there before the cameras and klieg lights, flanked by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin, to announce that the leaders were ready to sign two "framework" agreements that had been hammered out during 13 days of negotiations at Camp David. This time Carter's companions were Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Egypt's newly appointed Defense Minister Kamal Hassan Ali. Their task: to work out the details...
Indeed, it was Washington that had to resolve the basic issue of where and when the talks would be held. Egypt had proposed Ismailia, the town on the Suez Canal where Sadat met with Israeli Premier Menachem Begin last December; Israel wanted at least some of the talks to be held on its soil and suggested the Negev capital of Beersheba.

Aware of the public relations value of the visit, the Japanese gave a royal welcome to the Americans, whose trip was paid for entirely by Washington. Premier Takeo Fukuda popped in at two receptions in Tokyo and even conversed with Kreps and others in English, a language he almost never uses in public. Japan's aggressive MITI (Ministry of International Trade) and the big trading houses had arranged for the visitors more than 3,000 interviews with potential buyers, and a few sales had been prudently lined up ahead of time. When Mrs. Kreps criticized Japan's reluctance...
