Dayan criticized US policy on settlements and withdrawal and noted potential Arab leaders’ meetings while expressing optimism a peace formula could emerge.

Cambodia Dues Delay United Nations Assembly Work
Cambodia's communist government failing to pay back dues threatens to delay the U N General Assembly 32nd session. With Cambodia two years behind, no one will pressure for a vote on electing 17 vice presidents and seven standing committee chairmen, and a minimum payment of 36984 dollars may reinstate its voting rights. Diplomats fear a formal vote could be blocked if the issue persists, recalling a 1964-65 deadlock when the Soviet Union delayed its vote.
