Secretary of State William P. Rogers arrived in Beirut aboard a heavily guarded plane as steel-helmeted troops ringed the airport. Armored cars surrounded the runway and machine gunners held rooftop positions while thousands of Lebanese leftists and Palestinian guerrillas protested with Palestinian flags and slogans. The march, allowed under a government compromise, aimed to stay peaceful away from Rogers planned stops including the U.S. Embassy. In Jordan, Rogers had met King Hussein prior to the Lebanon visit.
