Arab Leaders Meet in Cairo Summit After War Loss
Arab rulers converge in Cairo for their first summit since the six day war. King Hussein of Jordan joins Egyptian President Nasser and Algerian President Boumedienne with other leaders en route. Israel denies peace feelers while announcing a lighthouse presence in the Gulf of Aqaba and Straits of Tiran. Observers see little chance for immediate peace though Hussein’s stance may shift toward anti Israel blocs. Russian warships cruise near in port calls at Port Said and Alexandria.

Stafford joins in Proposal For De-Escalating Vietnam War
Republican lawmakers led by Rep. Robert Stafford unveiled a phased plan to halt bombing north of the 21st parallel, then progressively to the 20th and 17th parallels, contingent on comparable North Vietnamese steps. The scheme aims to avoid forcing a face-saving collapse while offering both sides room to claim progress toward peace. Other backers included Schweiker and Dellenbach, with Senate voices Case and Javits resisting troop increases unless a military need is shown.
