"the United States
should use its utmost
power" toward that end
because without the U.S.
there was no chance for
peace in the Mideast.
Replying to questions
on the ABC-TV "Issues
and Answers" program,
Sadat stressed his pro-
posed linkage between
Jordan and a Palestinian
state, denied emphati-
cally that Egypt was still
receiving arms from the-
Soviet Union and com-
mented on Israel's.
domestic politics.
He said he hoped that
Israel's general elections
May 17 would pave the
way for its full participa-
tion in the Geneva peace
process. In order to reach
peace "we need a solid
domestic situation in Is-
rael," Sadat said.
He discounted the rift
between Premier Yitzhak
Rabin and Defense. Min-
ister Shimon Peres on
grounds- that there was
little difference between
"doves" and "hawks" in
Israel.
Sadat said his proposed
Palestinian-Jordan lin-
kage was nothing new, that

sein and that since then
PLO chief Yasir Arafat
and Syria-have agreed to
the idea. He did not know if
the recent disclosure of
CIA payments to Hussein
would hurt his linkage
proposal.
Sadat noted that the
PLO leadership will soon
meet in Cairo. Asked if he
would attempt to get the
PLO to accept arrange-
ments for its participa-
tion in the Geneva con-
ference, he said he would
B ut he asked, why must
the PLO always be urged
to recognize Israel; why
can't there be a mutual
"coming together" on the
points involved?
Asked what he would crO
if the U.S. refuses to sell
arms to Egypt, Sadat said
in-that case "I will be ask-
ing other markets. I will
get them where I can. All
I am asking for is defen-
sive arms to defend my
country."
The Egyptian leader
said he was grateful to
President Carter for the
$500 million economic aid
extended to Egypt and for
cancelling the proposed
sale of concussion bombs
to Israel.
Sadat referred to re-
ports from "reliable"
sources that Israel pos-
sesses a stock of nuclear
weapons. He said he
would like to see a nuclear
arms ban in the Middle
EaSt emerge from the
Geneva conference.
Meanwhile, President
Carter reaffirmed last
week that the United
States will not seek to
impose a solution to the_
Middle East conflict. An-
swering questions at a
press conference, Carter
stressed that the U.S. will
work to help Israel and
the Arab states reach a
solution, "but it has got to
be done primarily by
those countries in-
volved:"
The President called
Secretary of State Cyrus
Vance's visit to the
Mideast "very success-
ful" and noted that Vance
was able to obtain the
views first-hand of the
various parties involved.
Vance last Thursday re- .
jected suggestions in the
Senate that the United
States set forth its own
plan for an Arab-Israeli
settlement. He said that
such action is "too early"
and that a previous at-
tempt was "counter-
productive.'
The secretary also said
that he believes that Ra-
bin, in view_ of his victory
over Defense Minister .
Sliimon Peres, and -the
latter's call for amity
within the Israeli Labor
Party, will be able to "ne-
gotiate for his country"•in
the coming discussions
for a settlement.
Vance made his state-
ment in response to a
question from members
of the Senate Appro-
priations Subcommittee
on Foreign Aid after he
had submitted a state-
ment justifying his "new
directions" assistance
program for the fiscal
year beginning Oct. 1.
He did not give figures
for any country, but
chairman Daniel Inouye
(D-Hawaii) said the aid
program totaled $7.5 bil-
lion and that an addi-
tional $2 billion during
the course of the year
would bring the amount
close to $10 billion. U.S.
assistance to interna-
tional development banks
has more than doubled.
Israel is known to be
ticketed for $1.785 billion.
Of this, $1 billion is for mil-
itary assistance.
When Inouye asked
whether more funds
would be appropriated
during the year for Israel,
Vance sharply replied
he thought the sum
budgeted is "adequate"
and no more would be
forthcoming unless the
President proposed it.
Vance outlined the
foreign aid budget -by
groupings and noted in
bilateral programming
that no funds are asked
by the Carter Adminis-
tration for this coming
year on the Israel-U.S.
Bi-national Industrial
Research and Develop-
ment Fund. The sum of
$30 million_was budgeted
by the Ford Administra-
tion for th P e current fiscal
year.
Sen. Bennett Johnston
(D-La.) pressed for a U.S.
plan this year and refer-
red to the ill-fated Rogers
plan proposed by the
former Secretary of State
William Rogers - in Dec.
1969, "or some other U.S.
plan to try to bring the
parties together to make
peace in 1977." Vance re-
plied "It would be a mis-
take at this point to come
up with a. U.S. plan and
say this is it and you have
to take it." -
He agreed with John-
ston that the step-by-
step policy is not to be
followed and that an
overall peace settlement
should be sought. But he
emphasized that he op-
posed "at this early date to
lay out a plan." Under
Johnston's questioning,
Vance also said that it
would "be a mistake to
fo'rce the process at this
early stage."
Vance said that Israel's
positiOn with respect to
the administered ter-
ritories is that "this is a
subject for discussion in
negotiations between Is-
rael and her Arab
neighbors" and Israel
"underscores" that with-
drawal was to be "to de-
fensible and secure boun-
daries."
Meanwhile, Secretary
General Kurt Waldheim
told the Security Council
Monday that prospects
for reconvening Middle
East peace talks this year
were good but they re-
quired changes in at-
titude on both sides.
In his report to the
Council on his recent
Middle East trip, Wal-
dheim emphasized that
he had no doubt that all
parties concerned "are
honestly desirous of mov-
ing toward a negotiated
settlement."
The Secretary General,
who met last week with
President Carter in
Washington, said that the
U.S. has found a consen-
sus that all concerned
should work toward re
convening the Geneva
confernce in the second
half of 1977.
In New York last week,
Gen. (Res.) Ariel Sharon,
leader of the Shlomzion
movement in Israel, war-
ned against what he said
is the Israeli govern-
ment's intention to enter
into negotiations with the
neighboring Arab states
on new interim agree-
ments.
The previous interim
agreements that Israel
signed, Sharon claimed,
did not bring peace any
closer. "An overall set-
tlement is the only solu-
tion" for solving the
mideast conflict, he said.
