Networks urged to broaden presidential questioning on TV

Two months into his tenure as Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld challenges Henry Kissinger on SALT influence, intrudes on white house diplomacy, and reshapes budget matters.

Rabin Sets Nonflexible Terms in U S Visit on Palestine
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin arrived in Washington aiming to restore a $500 million arms aid cut and to bar Palestinian statehood from future talks. He refused to deal with the PLO, keeping its 1964 charter as policy and urging Geneva talks only on a Israel Jordan settlement. He warned U S arms aid cuts would weaken Israel.
