Carter and Saudis pursue oil and peace talks in Riyadh
President Carter arrives in Saudi Arabia for talks on Middle East peace and oil issues. An unnamed Air Force One official says Saudis may move toward the American approach on a Palestinian state, potentially easing the stalemate with Israel. The visit includes a royal welcome and signals on unity with Egypt and other Arab states. Damascus reports large anti Egyptian and anti American protests as Carter presses for a broader Arab role. Saudi concerns about the dollar and a $60 billion surplus influence finance aspects of the talks.
