Kissinger Returns With Middle East Peace Ideas
Secretary of State Kissinger returned from a mission in the Middle East and Europe bearing an Egyptian proposal for the United States to guarantee Israel's security during talks. Sadat said Egypt seeks U S guarantees against Arab attack in exchange for Israeli withdrawals from 1967 territories. A senior official said no decision has been made and details were not disclosed. Israel would be wary of relying on another power and would study any defense pact cautiously.

Court rules Nixon had no impoundment right
The Supreme Court unanimously held President Nixon could not withhold $9 billion in water pollution funds approved by Congress because the Water Pollution Act lacked explicit authority. The ruling suggests immediate release of $5 billion deemed available, with States like New York and Connecticut expecting substantial allocations. The decision favors New York City in challenging Nixon’s sewer aid restraints and may affect remaining withheld funds.
