Begin plan for Sinai peace talks kept secret by Israeli officials
Israeli officials reportedly kept a detailed Begin plan on Sinai and Palestinian issues secret while Israeli media claim it includes a bilateral Egypt settlement and West Bank self rule. The plan reportedly envisions militarized zones and enclaves in Sinai and a governing council for the West Bank and Gaza under Israeli security, with East Jerusalem controlled by Israel but supervised by an international body for holy sites. Egypt’s Sadat remains firm on full Israeli withdrawal and a Palestinian state with West Bank and Gaza borders. Mohammed Ibrahim Kamel named foreign minister to replace Ismail Fahmy who resigned amid peace moves.

Police seize Croat embassy visitors book in Canberra
Commonwealth Police took the visitors' book from the so called Croatian embassy in Canberra and photocopied it without permission. Two officers acted with embassy staff approval according to charge d'affaires Mario Despoja. He said copies were made and the book returned about 25 minutes later. The incident raised fears of Yugoslav Croat nationalist information being exposed. The blast damaged a bronze bust of General Draza Mihailovic at the Serbian Orthodox Church yard.
