Grand Jury Opens Hoffa Probe In Disappearance Case
A federal grand jury in Detroit begins an investigation into the July disappearance of former Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa. U S Attorney Ralph Guy says the probe will focus on testimony from more than 70 subpoenaed witnesses and remains an inquiry rather than an indictment. The FBI also seeks to keep a car linked to the case, driven by Hoffa's foster son Chuckie O'Brien, under court scrutiny as a potential clue.

Israel Egypt discuss second Sinai withdrawal pact
The Knesset weighed the new Israeli Egyptian accord for a second Sinai withdrawal after 12 days of diplomacy led by Henry Kissinger. If endorsed, Israeli and Egyptian delegates would sign in Geneva, with the Pentagon backing a U.S. civilian presence at electronic surveillance stations. The pact creates a buffer zone of 1,900 square miles, with 1,520 handed to UN forces, and stops short of a final peace, while drawing support and criticism from regional and global leaders.
