RECENT COMMENT

FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Trib notes aid "hasn't brought US many reciprocal benefits,"
but proposal re: Egypt "could prove an exception. The last few
months have, in fact, already brought a series of extraordinary
benefits to US for which aid might be considered a sort of deferred
payment. Egypt's attitude toward US has undergone a remarkable
change
Sadat's distrust has yielded to at least appearance of
warm friendship. 11 Trib thinks $250M "a small price, " especially
since it'd be used for peaceful purposes and to "assure Sadat we
welcome the changes. 11 It doesn't agree w/ RN that aid is
"indispensable element" of foreign policy that carries "discredited
implication we can buy supporters" but RN's prediction aid will
"encourage 'the forces of moderation' has enough validity to make the
gamble worth taking. 11
In his "good" aid proposal, says LA Times,
RN "made good his commitment of Jan to work to ensure US continues
to play a leadership role
SO long-term development can continue to
be planned. " Criticism over amount is "unwarranted;" it's less than
4% of GNP. "More appropriate question is whether it's enough.
Plan includes timely responses to meet new problems. " And LA Times
says RN's "to be commended for continuing to support this impt
global responsibility."
On CBS AM film, Nobel winner Borlaug, who once wrote of the
green revolution, said shortages will be a continuing problem, tho
perhaps they' re more critical now. Reserves are at low level and
if something happens in producing areas, we could be in for "massive
famine. 11 Borlaug also noted govt changes or unrest in 3 African countries
which have been affected by drought.
Chief of Suez-clearing Team, Adm. McCauley, thinks operation
can be completed in 6-8 weeks. He notes Egyptians have treated him
w/ warmth and cooperation, "the most pleasant surprise of my life. 11
In People interview he notes it's quite a change from attitude in NVN.
