`Mideast Nuclear Plants to Be
Most Strictly Safeguarded'
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Secretary of State Henry A.
Kissinger told the Senate
Tuesday that nuclear plants
being considered by the
United States for Egypt and
Israel will be provided
"under safeguards more
stringent than anywhere
else."
He made the statement
before the Senate Govern-
ment Operations Commit-
tee where he testified on the
proliferation of nuclear
power and weaponry.
Senator Charles Percy (R-
Ill.) asked him about the
state of negotiations with
Egypt which were initiated
last November when Presi-
dent Anwar Sadat was in
Washington. Percy men-
tioned that some thought
the delivery of plants to the
Middle East might be
"reckless policy."
Kissinger replied that
U.S. arrangements with
Egypt "and Israel for that
matter" under the "ten-
GRAEME
FLOWERS
tative agreements" provide
safeguards that include a
ban on storing plutonium in
either country and a prohi-
bition on reproducing in
those countries. Referring
to the Egyptian reactor,
Kissinger said "the actual
agreement is still under ne-
gotiation" and he could not
project when it will be con-
cluded.
