CONGREGATION BETH ACHIM and war Sadat Chair in Popula- tion, Development and Peace at the Center. lb become a reality, the Sadat Chair needs an endow- ment of $2 million. To date, about $325,000 has been raised. The Chair is intended to attract world-class scholars who will teach and develop research programs to aid in the quest for peace and development in the Middle East. Dr. Edward Azar, director of the Center for International Development and Conflict Management, said the Sadat Chair will also study "how Sadat's incredible move to make peace happened." Also aiding in the creation of the Chair are Canadian Charles Bronfman,chairman of the Seagram Company and head of the CRB Foundation, the world's largest Jewish foundation; former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger; former Maryland senator Joseph Tydings; television personality Barbara Walters, and actor Gregory Peck. The United States, not Egypt, will be the site of the Sadat Chair, said Mrs. Sadat, bec-ause "Egypt is busy with its problems, especially its poverty. Maybe • when it gets over this period, when peo- ple's standards will be better, they will start thinking of something like this:' Although Mrs. Sadat is associated with an American university, lives in a three- bedroom home in Great Falls, Va., and dresses more like a western than an Arab woman, she has great affec- tion for her country. Where does she feel more comfor- table, Egypt or the United States? "No better than home," she promptly _an- swered. "But I love the American people. Wherever I go, I hear lovely things about my husband. This makes my stay here very, very pleasant. People here have never forgot- ten what he has done. But I also love my country so much, I cannot tell you. I miss everything in my country. Because of that, I am back and forth." Mrs. Sadat's fondness for things Egyptian was evident as she gave some prefatory remarks before a recent speech at the University of Maryland on the legacy of her husband. Standing at the podium in a green tailored suit with black piping and a gold necklace medallion bear- ing a profile of her husband, Mrs. Sadat spoke softly about about a four-day boat trip she had just taken down the Nile. "It was very peaceful," she told the small audience.
