...will guide the U.S. and Soviet officials during the treaty negotiations. During the course of the talks, the Russians issued a statement, approved by Ford, that they were determined to give improvements in U.S.-Soviet relations "an irreversible character." Subsequently, Kissinger told newsmen that the two leaders had made progress toward a 10-year treaty limiting offensive nuclear weapons...
Sadat accepts the Kissinger principle that progress toward a settlement can be made in bilateral negotiations but maintains that there can be no full-scale peace settlement between Egypt and Israel until Israel has also reached agreements with the other Arab combatants. "One party could act more quickly than others," explained an Egyptian official last week, "but it is necessary that there should be progress on all fronts."

This means that the P.L.O. will have to abandon its stated goal of a "democratic-secular state between the Jordan and the Sinai"--which is simply a codeword for the destruction of Israel and its replacement with another Arab state. Israel will have to abandon its claim that Palestinians already have a homeland in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. And Arab governments should support negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians in which both sides recognize each other's right to exist. Each party should pledge...
