WASHINGTON (JTA) — Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon, at his first
press conference, placed consider-
able emphasis on the question of
Arab-Israeli peace, terming the
Middle East area a "powder keg"
that "needs to be defused."
Mr. Nixon first injected the Mid
East issue in response to a question
pertaining to his position on the
nuclear non-proliferation treaty and
missile talks with the Soviet
Union. He said "it would be a mis-
take, for example, for us to fail
to recognize that simply reducing
arms through mutual agreement—
failing to recognize that reduction
will not, in itself, assure peace.
The war - which occurred in the
Mid East in 1967 was a clear in-
dication of that."
He added that he wanted to see
to it that "We have strategic arms
talks in a way and at a time that
will promote, if possible, progress
on outstanding political problems
in which the United States and
the Soviet Union, acting together,
can serve the cause of peace."

Nations for achieving Middle East'
peace.
Mr. Nixon replied that "the sug-
gestion had been made that we have
Four-Power talks. The suggestion
has also been made that we use
the United Nations as the primary
forum for such talks. And it has
also been suggested that the
United States and the Soviet Union
bilaterally should have talks on
the Middle East. In addition, to
that, of course, the problem final-
ly should be settled by the pard
ties in the area."

lie continued: "We are going
to devote the whole day on Sat-
urday to the Mid East problem,
just as we devoted the whole
day this last Saturday on the
problem of Vietnam. We will
consider on the occasion of the

Israel, Greece Sign Pact
to Encourage Tourism

officials announced that an agree-
ment for cooperation on tourism
between Greece and Israel was
signed last week, aimed at attract-
ing American tourists to both coun-
tries.
A similar agreement between
Israel and Romania provides that
tourist offices of one country car-
ry information about the other.
This is the only bilateral agree-
ment in effect between Israel and
Greece, which does not have for-
mal diplomatic relations with
Israel.

parties and no solution can be im-
from outside."
(Al Abram said the message was
conveyed through Donald Bergus,
ranking 'U.S. diplomat in Cairo.
The paper said that the reported
Nixon position amounted to depre-
ciation of the French proposal for
Big Four talks on the Middle
East.)
