Lebanon vetoes guerrilla arms request at Arab League
The Lebanese government rejected a Palestinian call to fund antiaircraft missiles and heavy weapons for refugee camps in Lebanon. Premier Takiedden Soth insisted any outside defense must be campless and controlled by the Lebanese army, while a counteroffer of a $1 billion armament plan was tabled. Arab League resolutions urged solidarity with Lebanon and defense against Israeli aggression, with a Morocco summit planned for September to decide actions.

Nixon Warned Of Danger On Trip By Doctor
Nixon’s physician says the President was warned a permanent blood clot in his left leg could be fatal during the Middle East trip but Nixon chose to proceed. The doctor said the clot is fixed and unlikely to break loose, though Nixon received medication and continued travel. Ambulances were in motorcades but not used as Nixon rested and swam when possible during a July Fourth holiday near Biscayne Bay with neighbors.
