July 19, 1972 THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
(Tues. nets, wires, columns)
y
The major stories of the day:
Major lead on all nets was Sadat's "stunning surprise" in
telling 515-20, 000 Soviet military advisers to go home and
that Egypt would handle the Russ bases and equipment from
here on. US reported by Kalb to be "delighted but silent. 11
Meaning of move unclear as it may reflect frustration at
Egypt's inability to get more Russ aid or a desire to
prosecute an attack on Israel on its own. No reports indi-
cated the latter possibility holds much chance of success.
Politics was next major story of the day w/McG nicely
profiled alongside Mt. Rushmore on all nets as he appre=
ciated Daley's support and criticized Teamsters' move.
Major focus also on AFL-CIO session Wed. w/Schorr
anticipating a decision on McG will be put off w/Meany losing
chance for declaration of all-out war. But McG forces won't
get all-out support, if any at all, for time being either.
Eagleton on 2 nets telling of his efforts to bring labor around.
Rizzo's seeming, tho disclaimed, endorsement of RN on CBS
film and noted by others while Javits, also on CBS w/NBC/ABC
note, surfaced his desires for a "Dump Agnew" effort but Mudd
said that at last report, the Javits move remained at, or below,
sea level.
Brief NBC/CBS note that HAK is out of sight amid speculation
that he's back in Paris. No WH comment noted by both.
NBC w/lengthy Swedish film of civilian areas in NVN allegedly
hit hard by US bombs. Shots of children severely wounded by
new "perforation" bombs and film of civilian residences in
ruins
Note by all that ARVN advance units are 50 yards from
the NVA-occupied citadel in Quang Tri. Still, said ABC, no signs
of NVA yielding.
