that Israel will be pressured into giving up more land to the Arabs In effect Sadat will tell President Ford that he has stuck his by settling at this point for only a portion of the Sinai and needs to show his Arab allies that it paid off in U.S support Secretary of State Henry A Kissinger after meeting with Ford Saturday said the United States will give Egypt economic aid but with respect to military aid we are not in a position to make any specific commitment There will not be any announcement or any decision on a program of military aid lo Egypt at this Kissinger said Sadat the first

said the leader of the coup at- tempt now in jail met daily with the ambassador of a foreign nation who preferred the situation to further their own interests in the Middle East That is my problem with them to this day American security officials are uneasy about Sadat's visit The White House and State Department have provided minimal information about the trip to the news media and the public Last week for example the Slate Department issued explicit instructions for applying for news credentials but would not divulge the itinerary itself Ever since Sadat accepted a partial Israeli pullback in Sinai he has been the target of Syrian and Palestinian criticism The Egyptian leader would like to be able to return home with some in- dication that Ford intends to promote Israeli retreats on their fronts as well In arranging the Sinai accord last summer Kissinger assured Sadat that the United States intends to make a serious effort to help bring about further negotiations between Syria and Israel The administration already has decided to ask Congress for a minimum of million in economic assistance for Egypt
