Broomfield Guiding Administration Sinai Pact Fight WASHINGTON- — Rep. William Broomfield (R-Mich.) has been named floor manager in the House by the Ford Administration to win Congressional approval for the Israeli-Egypt interim agreement in Sinai. The major stumbling blocks to approval have been opposition to the U.S. personnel in the Sinai to man electronic warning stations, and the cost of U.S. aid to Israel and Egypt. Some Administration spokesmen have been linking the proposed sale of 14 Hawk surface-to-air missile batteries to Jordan with the proposed Sinai package. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, however, said the Hawk sale was between Congress and Jordan, and that he is prepared to offer a compromise on deployment and delivery that is now being consid- ered, "but must be acceptable to Jordan." Several congressional leaders, including Presidential hopefuls Henry M. Jackson of Washington and Morris K. Udall of Arizona have issued statements supporting the interim Sinai accord. Udall dismissed as "simplistic" the analogies drawn by some critics, including Senate Major- ity Leader Mike Mansfield, between the positioning of Americans in the Sinai and in Vietnam. REP.

Ford received their support on the issue of stationing American technicians in Sinai under terms of the new Israeli-Egypt interim accord. Attending the meeting in the Cabinet room, at which Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger was also present, were representatives of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, headed by chairman Rabbi Israel Miller, and Max M. Fisher, chairman of the Board of the Governors of the Jewish Agency. Fisher, a personal friend of the President, said he had arranged the meeting. Miller said Ford told the group that "a large supporting majority in Congress" for the techni- cians to man an advance warning radar station between the new Israeli and Egyptian lines in Sinai "would help the atmosphere for peace" and that the Jewish leaders concurred. Fisher maintained that the pact was good for America and good for Israel. He conceded that there certainly are risks involved but said that "one of the great things" about the interim accord is that there will be time for further negotiations. Kissinger, at a State Department press conference Tuesday, minimized "Soviet objections" to the accord, defended the proposed presence of American technicians in Sinai as essential to monitor the agreement and contended that it was not "detrimental" to the Soviet Union or "advantageous" to the United States." ' He minimized the PLO threat to shoot at Americans in Sinai, noting that the technicians would be between Israeli and Egyptian forces, surrounded by UN forces in an area with no population.
