Kissinger Says U S Role In Sinai Will Be Limited
Secretary of State Kissinger returns from Sinai peace mission to tell Congress the United States will play a limited but important watchdog role in enforcing the Egypt Israel accord. President Ford touts 200 civilian technicians who will monitor the desert, saying their presence stabilizes. Public sentiment appears more favorable in both parties toward approval of the pact. Ford praises the mission and notes that only the U S can command trust from both sides to reach a lasting Middle East peace. The administration asserts no formal U S responsibility to either side under the agreement.
