...resignation and the election, for example, presumably could be expanded in negotiations. More substantively, if the Communists would abandon their insistence that political concessions be linked with any military agreement, the U.S. was ready to let political issues be worked out later. In that case, the U.S. would withdraw its forces contingent only upon the release of prisoners and an area-wide ceasefire. This would include the end of enemy action in Laos and Cambodia and of U.S. bombing throughout the region. Under these conditions the U.S. would not require that the Communists also withdraw all outside forces from South...
Britain's decision to withdraw from the gulf was an unsettling blow to the Trucial States. One robed sheik explained why to TIME Correspondent Gavin Scott as they sat sipping Evian water in an Abu Dhabi hotel lobby. "We have a saying here that my next-door neighbor is my enemy, but the man from afar is my friend." So anxious was oil-rich Abu Dhabi to maintain a referee and peacekeeper in the area that it. quietly proposed to help cover British costs with a $60 million subsidy.

The U.S. last year attempted to arbitrate such a discussion, but it was suspended after Israel objected to a U.N. speech by Secretary of State William Rogers. Rogers proposed that the Israelis withdraw some troops from the Bar-Lev Line, that a U.N. peace-keeping force be stationed in the Sinai, and that Egyptian "police" be allowed to cross the canal to the Israeli-occupied east bank...
...directly with Israel, but Egypt is amenable to "proximity discussions," in which representatives of the two nations would closet themselves in separate hotel suites while U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Joseph Sisco shuttles between them. U.N. Mediator Gunnar Jarring, acting under a U.N. resolution that calls on Israel to withdraw from occupied territories in return for secure and agreed borders, is also trying to resume his own negotiations. They have been stalled for months because of Israeli intransigence, and he will almost certainly fail...
