State of the Union draws mixed reaction in Congress
President Carter’s State of the Union message drew applause and criticism as Republicans and some Democrats said proposals were inadequate to meet urgent problems. He pressed a wide agenda including an energy bill, tax cuts, civil service revamp, and a Panama Canal treaty ratification while avoiding fresh steps to end deadlocks. Farmers pressed for higher prices, and education department plans faced split support, with lawmakers demanding detail on transit and other policies.

Vance urges new Mideast talks in Cairo visit
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance flew to Cairo to urge President Sadat to resume peace negotiations with Israel. He and Foreign Minister Kamel met on arrival, with a helicopter ride to Sadat’s Nileside retreat. If talks stall, a fresh mission by Vance may follow after a cooling-off period. Begin signaled willingness to resume but defers final decision until Cairo talks, cabinet meeting, and Sadat’s Saturday parliament address.
