Carter says Middle East leaders must show courage for peace
President Jimmy Carter, in an interview released by the White House, argued that Arab leaders including Jordan and Syria must display the same courage as Begin and Sadat to advance peace with Israel. He brushed aside fears of intensified terrorism, noting vigilance but deeming threats exaggerated, and praised Egyptian-Israeli public support after Sadat's Jerusalem visit. He also cautioned that some leaders misread public sentiment and stressed that the press may have over or under credited recent progress.

Congress saves grocery baggers jobs at military commissaries
Congress overruled a Civil Service Commission ruling to keep commissary baggers from becoming full time government employees. The exemption preserves part time, tip-based work for thousands of baggers, many teens or military retirees, across U.S. commissaries. The issue arose during a weapons authorization bill, with prior veto and jurisdiction debates between committees.
