After retiring to a 16th century resort hotel outside Salzburg, Sadat then conferred with U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim, who just happened to be vacationing nearby at his summer home on the Attersee. Abruptly canceling a day of sightseeing in Munich, Sadat later spent an afternoon with Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizman and his counterpart from Cairo, Abdel Ghany Gamassy...
