...UNITED NATIONS' Social, Economic and Humanitarian Committee resolution condemning Zionism as a form of racism brings shame to an organization created in the wake of the defeat of fascism to ensure that the horrors of that era can never be repeated...
Sadat also made a blunder. After a moderate speech at Washington's National Press Club, Sadat was asked his opinion of a U.N. draft resolution on Zionism that is to be voted upon by the General Assembly next week. The draft resolution, which condemns Zionism as a form of racism, was sponsored by the Arab League, including Egypt, and approved by the General Assembly's Social Committee, 70 to 29 with 27 abstentions.

As a congressional adviser to the U.S. delegation, I strongly urged them to vote against this declaration and was gratified that they did so. The gratuitous attack on Israel was an example of the anti-Israel bloc, with men in the leadership manipulating the women, who were there as instructed delegates from their governments...
