Prospects for an early package agreement between the Big Two, however, remained slim. The U.S. is said to be ready to agree to Egypt's demand that Israel should withdraw from the Sinai and Sharm el Sheikh. Washington also favors the return of the West Bank to Jordan, together with recognition of Jordan's rights in Jerusalem. But the Soviets and the Egyptians still insist that Israel quit all the lands conquered in 1967. Both Washington and Moscow, as a result of discussions, now agree that the frontier areas should be demilitarized and controlled by U.N. forces...
...months it has been clear that Richard Nixon's prime goal is to get American forces out of Viet Nam. The only questions have been when and how he would withdraw the more than 535,000 Americans and what Communist concessions he might get in return.

House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, who had been quietly opposing the appointment, and Texas Republican Senator John Tower reminded Nixon of the A.M.A. campaign contributions. Other Republicans echoed Ford's opinion that "there must be somebody less controversial who is equally qualified." It was also pointed out that...

Well aware of how most of his constituents regard students who seize buildings and throw out administrators, many a Senator or representative has arisen in his chamber, delivered a scathing speech against SDS members, and perhaps introduced a bill which would -- as two such proposals provide -- withdraw all Federal aid from any campus where disorders occur, or from colleges which fail to carry out research deemed important to the national security. At the same time, three Congressional committees have held lengthy hearings on student unrest...
