Historic Mideast peace treaty to be signed today
Security includes canine agents
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Special secu
rity precautions including bomb
sniffing dogs are planned for today’s
signing of the Egyptian-Israeli
peace treaty, officials said Saturday.
All leave has been canceled for
National Park Service police
Monday, some of whom will be as
signed to an anticipated Arab dem
onstration in Lafayette Park, across
from the White House, the spokes
man said.
The Organization of Arab Stu
dents has been granted a permit to
demonstrate on the far northeast
corner of the park.
Rules prohibit protest activity
within 500 feet of “a premise used
by (any foreign) government for offi
cial purposes)” and a snow fence will
mark the boundaries for the protest.
The Park Service spokesman said
1,500 protesters are expected to
march from Dupont Circle to
Lafayette Park and then to the
Egyptian Embassy.
A Secret Service spokesman said
although security precautions will
be no different from those involving
any other visiting head of state, spe
cial canine teams, trained to re
spond to bomb threats or suspicious
packages, will be on hand, in addi
tion to agents, security specialists
and uniformed teams.
New aid to he loans,
not outright grants

WASHINGTON — U.S. officials
predict that the amount of new aid
to Egypt and Israel may be less than
both countries anticipated, and
most of it will be in the form of
long-term loans, instead of outright
grants.
The officials said Saturday that
the new U.S. economic and military
assistance for both countries will
total between $4.5 billion and $5 bil-

lion over a three-year period. That 1
would be in addition to the $960
million program that Egypt gets an
nually and the yearly $1.8 billion
that Israel routinely gets from the
United States.
The U.S. officials broke down the
new aid package this way:
—Israel will get $3 billion, includ
ing $1 billion to aid the Israelis in
transplanting their sophisticated
early warning system from the Sinai
desert to the Negev. At one time,
the Israelis had requested more
than $3 billion for the moving of the
warning system, alone.
—Egypt will receive $1.5 billion
in loans for a military resupply pro
gram.
The loans will be on a “concessio
nary basis,” meaning that no re
payment will be expected for 10
years, and then the total will be re
paid, with interest, over a 20-year
period.
In addition, a U.S. team is study
ing a further economic development
program for Egypt which would
amount to $500 million, at most.
The officials said that $1.17 billion
of the total three-year package
would be in the form of grants, and
would be appropriated from the
U.S. budget. The rest would be in
loan form.
In addition, the officials said,
there is a possibility that other coun
tries will join in the aid program,
either as part of a multilateral effort
such as the World Bank, or on a
bilateral basis.

Syria nixes oil embargo in protest of tream
United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Syria ruled
out the possibility of an Arab oil
embargo against the United States
to protest the Egyptian-Israeli
peace treaty mediated by President
Carter.
In an interview Saturday with the
Kuwaiti newspaper Al Watan, Sy
rian Foreign Minister Abdel Halim
Khaddam said Syria and other op
ponents of the treaty “will not ask
Arab oil producing states to cut off
petroleum shipments to the United
States.”
Palestine Liberation Organization
leader Yasser Arafat has been urging
the use of the “oil weapon” to frus
trate the treaty.
But Khaddam, who is on a Euro
pean tour, said such a tactic would
be counterproductive.
Khaddam said an embargo would
only “divert attention from the high
treason being committed by the
Egyptian president against his
people and the Arab world as well as
from Israel’s occupation of Arab
land.”
Khaddam also indicated that Arab
economic sanctions to “punish”
Egypt may not be as stringent as the
total cutoff of aid suggested by some
Arab hardliners.
“The oppressed Egyptian people '
will not be included in the sanc
tions,” he said.
Iraq has called for a summit meet
ing of Arab foreign and economic
ministers in Baghdad Tuesday to
consider sanctions against Egypt.
But Kuwait has asked for a post
ponement of the Baghdad meeting,
citing a summit of the presidents of
North and South Yemen due to
begin in Kuwait Wednesday.
Khaddam said the Arab rejec-
tionists should concentrate on sup
porting the Egyptian oppositioi|
President Anwar Sadat.
He urged the opposition in C*
to demonstrate “the highestdea
of revolutionary violence inordei|
strangle and overthrow Sadat'sif
gime.”
Khaddam’s remarks coindj
with the arrival in Damascml
Soviet Foreign Minister Anil
Gromyko on a previously un|
nounced three-day visit re
Moscow’s strong support ofi|
states rejecting the treaty.

Egyptian-Israeli treaty worked out
by President Carter.
The Soviet news agency Tass said
only that Gromyko’s trip was a
“brief, friendly visit” at the invita
tion of the Syrians.
Sadat left Cairo despite the Arab
threats that forced him to put tens of
thousands of police and security
agents on maximum alert na
tionwide.
All police leaves were canceled,
guards were increased outside
hotels, embassies, universities and
government buildings, and
thousands of hawkish Arabs were
put under surveillance, officials
said.
Although Jordan and Saudi Arabia
have not officially rejected the
treaty, Syria has joined other hard
line Arab nations such as Iraq and
the PLO in denouncing the pact as a
Sadat “surrender” to Israel.
Iraqi Revolutionary Council Vice
President Saddam Hussein said
Friday Iraq would work to “incite
the Arab people of Egypt” to over
throw Sadat.
The Iraqi government sent tele
grams to a number of international
organizations urging them to under
take “all necessary efforts to prevent
the signing by Egypt of the surren
der settlement with the Zionist
entity.”
The cables to the United NatiJ
the Organization of American Si
and the Organization of A™
Unity also said the treaty “threaij
peace and security in the regions
drives it toward an armed confrc^
tion.”
Though the Iraqis have i
vowed to overthrow any Arab a
eminent that supports the pact/

The PLO did not wait forthesj

Israeli Defense Minister El
Weizman put troops on alert altj
the Jordanian, Syrian and Lebanj
borders, saying Syria, Iraq and])
dan “offer a very serious poteni
threat to us.”
