...Gemayel that he would pull his forces out of Lebanon whenever the Lebanese government requested it. (Previously, the P.L.O. had said it would withdraw only when Syrian forces did.)

Speaking to a contact on then-President Jimmy Carter's National Security Council, House asked him if Vance was travelling to the Middle East to personally invite Begin and Sadat to a summit in the United States. She recalls his shocked response, saying. "I knew my hunch was correct when he refused to either confirm or deny it."
