Arab Leaders Agree on Step Toward Merging Egypt Libya
CAIRO AP Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy reached a plan for a staged merger starting with a 100 member constituent assembly to draft a constitution for a new state. The assembly will include 50 members from Egypt’s Parliament and 50 from Libya’s Popular Revolutionary Committee. Citations note no timetable for final union or constitution, and both leaders will stay in power until merger completion. They also proposed a common currency, the Arab dinar, to replace the Egyptian and Libyan dinars.
