U.S.
In a personal introduction to a
604-page State Department report
on American foreign policy, Rogers
stiminarized • his Middle East goal
for 1972 as -follows:-
"It will- be a year of sustained
effort to continue the cease fire in
the Middle East and to bring about
an interim Suez Canal agreement
as an initial step toward peace .. .
We are determined not to permit
the military balance to tip against
Israel."
Rogers reiterated his oft-stated
support for United Nations re-
presentative Gunnar B. Jarring's
"efforts to achieve - an over-all
settlement" and the secretary's
belief that "steps to achieve an
interim agreement complement
these efforts."
He warned: "Without progress
on a settlement, the relative calm
of 1971 threatens to give way to
new hostilities. We must not sit by
inactively and watch that happen."
"The over-all level of worldwide
U.S.-Soviet tensions continued to
diminish (in 1971)," Rogers said,
commenting that "Its (the Soviet
Union record in the Middle East
was at best mixed."
"Our' relations will not be har-
monious, therefore," he continued,
"until further evolution in Soviet
Thinking overcomes the temptation
to exploit explosive situations for
national advantage. We will discuss
these issues frankly with the Soviet
leaders in May."
In a three-paragraph section on
Soviet Jewry, Rogers said, "The
willingness of the' Soviet govern-
ment to permit some thousands of
Soviet Jews to emigrate was wel-
comed as a step forward by the
American people but did not' les-
sen concern in this country over
the status of Jews in the Soviet
Union." President Nixon's State
of the World report on Jan. 20 did
not include this issue.
As to referring to U.S. moves to
help Soviet Jews, Rogeri•Condemn-
ed "violent and 'Mega actions

U.S. which, he pointed out, "con-
tinued throughout 1971." .
Mentioning the alleged firing
of shots into- the Soviet mission •
in New York, which he said
"generated especially serious
concern • about extremist -acti-
vity," Rogers noted that the re- -
ported act "did not aid the cause
of Soviet Jewry but adversely -af-
fected U.S. relations with the
Soviet Union." - •
In asserting that the military bal-
ance- will be. maintained, Rogers
said that "We have continued to
sell U.S. military equipment and
supplies" to Israel "in response to
the large shipments. of arms by the
Soviet Union to Egypt in 1969 and -
1970 and to the increased direct
Soviet operational involvement in
Egypt's air defense • system."
Rogers pointed out that the
Soviet-E6r ptian friendship- treaty
of May 1971 and the October
agreement at the end of President
Anwar Sadat's visit to MOscOw . on
"specific measures to strengthen
the military might of Egypt" were
"developments (that) • did 'not -con-

Rogers said that "we would like

normal,. across-the-board relations
with Egypt."
He noted that there has -been
"significant" private American in-
vestment- in Egyptian petroleum.
"A major complicating factor be-
tween the U.S. and Egypt," Rogers
said, "continues to be the large
Soviet military presence there,
with its unsettling implications' for
NATO in the Eastern Mediterran-
ean and for the military balance
in the Middle _East."
The "continued independence and
stability" of what Rogers called
"moderate" Jordan "is an essential
element in the search for an Arab-
Israeli peace settlement," the sec-
retary said. "Jordan must be strong
and -viable to make a positive con-
tribution to-ward an enduring
peace in the area." •
Regarding Lebanon, Rogers
noted that "Lebanon remained
