Sadat blasts Begin on peace, calls for no sovereignty on land
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat declared that the only obstacle to Middle East peace is Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin expanding ambitions. He urged a peace based on recognition and coexistence but insisted no cession of land. In a two hour speech commemorating Egypt's 26th anniversary of King Farouk's overthrow he vowed no one man or party rule and proposed a new party to replace the Egypt Party. Sadat stressed Palestinian final status as key to peace and noted openness to new Israeli ideas while opposing land for security trade. He also cited a Leeds Castle meeting where despite talk of security, land demands remained. Peres and Weizman viewed as doves. The Glomar Explorer is to be outfitted for deep sea mining in Los Angeles.

Bourne Drug Probe Plan Fails to Surface at White House
Washington observers weigh political impact as Dr. Peter G Bourne resigns as Carter narcotics adviser. White House officials deny ongoing investigations into staff drug use while fears of damage to Carter's image rise. Democratic leaders warn damage could be devastating if more emerges. The controversy traces to Bourne's forged prescription on his pad and his admission of marijuana and occasional cocaine use among staff.
