He said, in an interview here, that it was proceeding much more slowly than Is- rael had hoped or expected, but he maintained that he is still confident that Israel's expectations would be met. The envoy returned to his post in Cairo after a long weekend in Jerusalem dur- ing which he briefed Pre- mier Menahem Begin, Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Chief of Staff Raphael Eitan and other of- ficials on his preception of the current political situa- tion in Egypt. Meanwhile, according to reports from Cairo, Is- raeli and Egyptian dele- gates remained dead- locked in their efforts to reach agreement on an agenda for the autonomy talks. The negotiations were resumed Sunday after being suspended for more than two months. The current talks are on the committee level. Is- raeli Justice Minister Shmuel Tamir and the Egyptian Minister of State, Butros Ghali, head their respective delega- tions. Tamir told reporters that a serious gap exists between the two sides, but they agreed to hold the next committee meeting in Israel on July 28. The Tamir-Ghali talks were marked by a public quarrel. They clashed over Israel's security concerns and the status ofJerusalem in front of reporters and the embarrassed American delegate at the session, Herbert Hansell. - The Legal Committee managed to agree on three agenda items out of more than 20 proposed points. The three dealt with • the source of authority for the proposed Palestinian self- governing council, the na- ture of its legislative pow- ers, and the mechanism for settling disputes between council and Israel. Meanwhile, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt says he is more con- cerned with drawing the Arab world into the Mid- dle East peace process than by the slow pace of the autonomy negotia- THE ONE AND ONLY tions with Israel.

The Egyptian leader ex- plained his concept of Egypt's strategic role in the region which, he said, tran- scends its own domestic problems. He said that role was to defend the area from Soviet expansionism. He observed that Ethiopia, South Yemen and Afghanistan have already fallen into Soviet hands and other regimes are in similar danger. Therefore, Sadat said, he decided to offer military facilities to the U.S. to defend not only the Mideast but the entire Mos- lem world as far as In- donesia. About 22,000 people from developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Mediterranean Basin have been brought to Israel for training in a variety of fields.

Tisha B'Av is the occasion for -Jews everywhere to recall the destruction of the Holy Temple, that traumatic event which ushered -in two millenia of Jewish dispersion and statelessness. It is also a time to give thanks for the miracle of Israel reborn in our lifetime and the restoration of Jewish sovereignty in our historic homeland. MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE JEWISH NATIONAL FUND MORE GENEROUS THIS TISHA b'AV Over the years it has become a proud tradition for synagogues through- out the United States to conduct appeals or other fund raising functions during their Tisha B'Av observances for the Jewish National Fund.
