Carter Emphasizes Dual Mideast Role During Trip
President Carter kept a fast pace on a six state swing with a Los Angeles speech to outline the U S stance on the Middle East. He framed America as a faithful ally of Israel and a mediator seeking Geneva talks while noting tensions between those roles. He also promoted Panama Canal treaty ratification and spoke on arms control and defense matters during stops in Denver and Fort Utter. He toured SAC headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base with Gen. Brown and Gen Jones and spoke to bomber crews about deterrence and response.

Iowa farmers press Carter for large corn setaside policy
A group of Iowa farmers met President Carter at the Woodrow Diehl farm in Indianola and urged a 15 to 20 percent corn setaside next year. They criticized 10 percent as insufficient and pressed for higher support prices, citing concerns over low prices and potential glut of 1976 corn. The session followed earlier Carter events, with farmers noting dock strikes and export policies as key issues.

Kissinger Tried to Fire Portugese Envoy Harpers Claims
Harper's magazine, via T D Allman, says Kissinger sought to dismiss Frank Carlucci as ambassador to Portugal for undermining the Soares government. Ford, urged by Rumsfeld, reportedly blocked the move after Kissinger pressed to oust Carlucci. Allman paints Kissinger warning that communists would defeat Portugal, amid reshuffles in Lisbon in 1975.
