Carter hints at emergency unemployment aid for cities
President Carter told the U S Conference of Mayors that if recession deepens and unemployment rises, he will work with mayors and take steps as needed while preserving fiscal discipline and avoiding inflation. He did not specify measures or spending, as rivals pressed plans. The 7.8 percent jobless rate dominates discussions at the convention.

Common Market timeline on Palestinian autonomy and West Bank talks

Egypt agrees to send foreign ministers to Washington. Anwar Sadat criticizes Israel’s stance on East Jerusalem.
