Sadat offers principles talk as London talks loom
President Anwar Sadat signals he may mothball the peace plan if Israel refuses to discuss broad principles rather than details when foreign ministers meet in London next week.

Begin’s cabinet in Jerusalem calls the Egyptian proposal completely unacceptable but approves Dayan’s London visit July 18 and 19 with Kamel and Vance to discuss principles.
