Haig thanks Mideast leaders for cease-fire role

Secretary of State Alexander Haig Jr sent messages of appreciation to three leaders involved in securing the cease-fire that ended 16 days of shelling along the Lebanese Israeli border. He thanked President Elias Sarkis of Lebanon, Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel, and Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia. Arafat was not contacted due to the 1975 understanding with Israel. Fahd’s message thanked the Saudi role behind the scenes in achieving the cease-fire.
