4 THE MICHIGAN DAILY New U.S. policy could alter Ar By The Associated Press President Anwar Sadat of Egypt indicated yesterday that the Arabs should alter their oil embargo of the United States because Washington "has adopt- ed a new policy" in the Mideast. Sadat's comment at an Algiers news conference came as Is- raeli Premier Golda Meir won parliamentary approval for her agreement to pull Israeli forces back from the Suez Canal, clear- ing the way for separation of the Egyptian and Israeli armies to begin Friday. IN WASHINGTON, U.S. Secre- Itary of State Henry Kissinger told a news conference that the unrestricted flow of Arab oil to the United States may resume in less than two months as a result of the Egyptian-Israeli troop agreement. Sadat said he can "now sin- cerely say that the United States has adopted a new policy, that there is a significant, though not total, change." Asked if the Arab embargo of oil to the United States should be modified, Sadat replied: "FOR EVERY change in the American position, it is neces- AP Photo sary for the Arabs to make an identical change toward the United States." .uin Sadat said three months ago Rouge i- that the U.S. position in the is mouth.

KING FAISAL of Saudi Arabia stressed in a report carried by the Lebanese newspaper An Na har that the disengagement ac- cord "should not be separate from the question of total Israeli withdrawal." Arab news analysts said Fais- al's stand indicated he would not terminate the embargo on the 'basis of the Egyptian-Israeli dis- engagement agreement.

S. position as a referee of the Middle East conflict, rather than simply a supporter of Israel. At the same time he warned the Arabs that the United States, in light of the American - spon- sored agreement between Egypt and Israel to disengage their forces, expects an early end to the current oil embargo. "I would . . . think that fail- ure to end the embargo in a rea- sonable time would be highly inappropriate and would raise serious questions of confidence in our minds with respect to the Arab nations with whom we have dealt on this issue," Kissinger said. HOLDING HIS first news con- ference since his hectic shut- tling last week between Aswan and Tel Aviv and back helping to work out the Egyptian-Israeli disengagement of forces, Kissin- ger said that the United States was not a guarantor ofthe fragile Middle East truce but would in- evitably be drawn in if new con- flict erupted. "Our judgement of who violat- ed the agreement will affect the course that we will pursue," the Secretary of State warned. Kissinger volunteered his good offices to arrange a truce be- tween Syria and Israel with the same "seriousness" as the dis- agreement he had negotiated be- tween Israel. and Egypt. BUT IN raising the possibility of an American loss of confidence in Arab goodwill because of the continuing embargo, Kissinger appeared to be hinting that con- tinued American efforts in secur- ing a just Middle East peace would be dependent upon Arab cooperation in supplying oil. Kissinger confirmed that the troop separation agreement be- tween Israel and Egypt contain- ed a number of unpublished un- derstandings that he had pre- sented to both sides. He declined to say what the un- derstandings were but Israel is reported to have been givenas- surances of U. S. support that the Baba-El Manden blockade in the Red Sea will be lifted by the Egyptians and that Israeli- bound cargoes will be allowed to pass through the Suez Canal when it is opened. KISSINGER SAID he had giv- en assurances of the same na- ture to Egypt. Kissinger said of his own role that though both parties found it easier to work through an in- termediary, he hoped he would be "less crucial" in the follow- ing negotiations.

The reason, he told a news con- ference, is a one-hour, 45-minute conversation he had Monday with Nixon. Based on what Nixon told him, Ford said, "I do know the President was not involved," in the erasure. The vice president defended last week's, speech in which he said a small group of political enemies was out to impeach the President as "the truth," saying "As long as I tell the truth ..-. my credibility is not eroded at all." , - HE SAID he told the President there is "a coordinated, well- financed, skillful effort on the part of some organizations to oust him. "I think he is fully cognizant of the various polls, he is fully cognizant of what some members are saying" and what some or- ganizations are doing, Ford added. Ford also said: "I have not indicated there was an'organized effort in the Congress."

The reason,'Ford said, is that these matters are before the courts and grand juries. -"The President is not going to resign," and Ford added "the President would be very unwise to resign. It would be very wrong for him to do so, particu- larly since I believe he is not guilty." -The energy crisis, which he said is "painfully real" rather than contrived is "the No. 1 con- cern" of Americans. He added that "unsubstantiated charges" that it is contrived threaten to undermine successful voluntary efforts to conserve fuel. Ford was asked about his statement last week that nim- peachable grounds were lacking, even if Nixon were involved in the 18 -minute erasure on a tape of a conversation between the President and former aide H. R. Haldeman. "I do not believe that the President was involved at all. I do not know who was involved. I do know the President was not involved," Ford said.
