He said the secretary of
state will go to the Middle
East, after his current visit
to Mexico City that will last
through Saturday for talks
with Latin American foreign
ministers. Saquaf, who ad-
dressed the President as "my
friend," said the White House
meeting was "a very good
and constructive discussion"
and that "the President sum-
marized everything."
Fahmy said he hoped the
Israelis and Syrians would
start working on disengage-
ment, with the U.S. actively
participating, as it did on
the Egyptian front with suc-
cess. He said he was
"pleased" that "the U.S. will
continue to work for a per-
manent and just peace for
the benefit of the countries
of the area."
Fahmy and Saquaf, who ar-
rived in Washington Saturday
.night from Paris, met with
Mr. Nixon after a series of
meetings with Dr. Kissinger
over the weekend. As they
posed with the President for
photographers before start-
ing their meeting they were
heard discussing with the
President the Islamic summit
meeting to open Friday in
Lahore, Pakistan. The foreign
ministers of 30 Islamic coun-
tries arrived in Lahore Tues-
day to prepare an agenda for
the meeting which reportedly
includes "the liberation of
Jerusalem" and support for
the Palestinians. It is not
known whether there was
any further discussion of the
Lahore meeting between

Nixon and the Arab minis-
ters.
White House press secre-
tary Ronald Ziegler refused
to answer reporters' follow-
up questions on President
Nixon's meeting with Fahmy
and Saquaf. He said he had
been instructed by Mr. Nixon,
Kissinger and the other par-
ticipants in the meeting —
meaning the Arabs — to add.
nothing to the President's
statement after the meeting.
Saquaf, meanwhile, held a
closely guarded press confer-
ence at the Shoreham Hotel
Tuesday afternoon, restricted
to a handful of journalists
selected by the Saudi Ara-
bian Embassy. The Jewish
Telegraphic Agency was in-
formed later by one of the
journalists present that Sa-
quaf had claimed that the
oil embargo was not men-
tioned at the Nixon meeting.
He also reportedly said
that the key to lifting the
embargo lay, in a way, with
Syrian-Israeli disengagement
talks. The Saudi minister
reportedly said that the
Arabs made no conditions
for ending the embargo but
had made a series of recom-
mendations. One of these was
that the U. S. should share
the $2,200,000,000 allocated to
help Israel with the Arabs
who, he said, were suffering
more.
According to JTA's in-
forniant, that remark was
greeted with undisguised
amusement by the reporters
in light of the tens of billions
of dollars in profits enjoyed
by the Arab oil producers
because of the rise In oil
prices. Saquaf also reported-
ly said the U. S. should act
justly and fairly, help those
who suffer and remain neu-
tral and without prejudice in
the Middle East. He report-
edly mentioned that the Arab
oil ministers will meet in two
to three weeks to make deci-
sions but did not say if they
would be related to the oil
embargo.
The 11 Arab countries that
joined in the Yom Kippur
War against Israel received
$8,952,000,000
in assistance
from the U. S. government
and American oil companies
in the six years before the
conflict, according to Rep.
Clarence D. Long (D.Md.).
This amount, Long says
in statements prepared for
presentation to the Congress,
is almost two and one half
times the estimated $3,700,-
000,000 in military and eco-
nomic aid that the Soviet
Union gave the Arab states
and more than four times
the U. S. government's
credits and gifts totaling
$2,000,000,000 to Israel in the
U. S. fiscal years 1968-73
that ended June 30.
Long, however, believes
that his estimate of Soviet
military aid to the Arab
countries "is probably low"
since he used as a base the
annual average of Arab im-
ports from 1968 to '71 and
Soviet arms supplies "in-
creased substantially in 1972
and 1973 as the Arabs pre-
pared for the October 1973
war."

ton doctorate in economics

several congressional eco-
nomic committees, compiled
the data to support a series
of three resolutions he has
offered to Congress. These
recommend a Soviet-Ameri-
can conference that would
design limits on the flow of
arms to the Middle East,
deny U. S. government eco-
nomic assistance to the So-
viet Union until it agrees to
cooperate for the elimination
of international tensions par-
ticularly in the Middle East,
and to curb the system that
enables oil companies to pay
taxes into the Arab treas-
uries and then deduct them
dollar for dollar from their
taxes to the U. S. Treasury.
Long estimated that the oil
companies' credits for taxes
in the six years totaled $5,-
700,000,000. The congressman
called these credits "invisible
foreign aid" and charged
that "it is probable that the
United States -encouraged
"massive investments" by
American companies in the
Arab oil countries "by help-
ing the Arabs write appro-
priate tax laws."
France Continues Role
as Arab Arms Provider
PARIS (JTA)—France and
Libya signed an agreement
providing for the continued
sale of Libyan oil to France
in exchange for French tech-
nical know-how, industrial
help and the construction of
an unspecified number of
nuclear reactors. The agree-
ment was signed Tuesday by
Libyan Prime Minister Abdel
Salam Jallud and French
Premier Pierre Messmer.
The agreement is believed
to include secret clauses pro-
viding for the sale of sophis-
ticated French-made weap-
ons, including the F-1 Mirage
fighter bomber and air-to-
ground a n d ground-to-air
missiles. French sources in-
dicated that the agreement,
which will ensure Libyan oil
supplies to France for some
10 years, is worth some $60,-
000,000,000.
Off-Record Dayan Talk
Revealed Pessimistic
Israel Defense View
TEL AVIV (JTA)—On the
third day of the Yom Kippur
War, Defense Minister Moshe
Dayan told Israeli newspaper
editors at an off-the-record
meeting that events in Sinai
proved that Israel no longer
enjoyed decisive military su-
periority over the Arabs,
lacked the power to throw
the Egyptians back across
the Suez Canal and might
have to give up large parts
of the Sinai peninsula, in
eluding possibly Sharm el-
Sheikh. Dayan made public
the transcript of his remarks
which was published in Is-
raeli newspapers over the
weekend.
While his ' assessment of
the military situation in Sinai
on Oct. 9 proved overly pes-
simistic, his remarks were
highlighted by Arab news
media Monday as evidence
that the October war altered
Israel's attitude, especially
as it concerned military su-
periority over the Arabs.
The event that formed the
background of Dayan's frank
appraisal to the editors was
the Egyptian success in
breaching the Bar-Lev line
on the Suez Canal.
"The line of strongholds
along the canal does not exist
for us anymore," Dayan
said. "We don't have the
strength to throw the Egyp-
tians to the other side."
He said forces were dele-
gated to defend southern
Sinai but Sharm el-Sheikh
might have to be abandoned.
This, he said, would be "a
very hard blow" but "we will
manage."
Dayan's words—which the
Arab press played up Mon-
day—included the following:
"This (situation) has many
implications. Two of them
are obvious: It revealed to
the entire world that we are
not stronger than the Egyp-
tians. The halo of superior-
ity, the political and military
principle that Israel is
stronger than the Arabs and
that if they dare to start a
war they would be defeated,
has not been proved here,

His assessment of the situa-
tion on the Syrian front was
more optimistic and was
borne out by subsequent
events. He predicted — cor-
rectly, it turned out — that
Jordan and Iraq would not
open a separate eastern front.
