Washington observers feel that the next few weeks may prove crucial in determining whether the Sadat initiative can be rescued and Sadat can survive politically. For the second year in a row, an international financial consortium made up of the U.S., Saudi Arabia, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and several European countries has agreed to a multibillion-dollar aid package covering Egypt's foreign-currency needs.
