Vance and Sadat press for renewed Middle East talks
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance met again with President Anwar Sadat in Cairo to push for an active American role in breaking the deadlock with Israel. The day included two hours of talks with Egyptian officials led by Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil. Vance plans to brief Sadat after the morning discussions and then fly to Israel for Golda Meir’s funeral. Discussions focus on a timetable for Palestinian autonomy and Egyptian security guarantees, with potential letter exchanges to acknowledge Egypt’s right to aid any Arab state attacked by Israel.
