The details had not yet been made public, but President Carter had just flown

home after a trip to Cairo and Jerusalem during which he had obtained the signatures of Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat on the follow-up to the Camp David Accords. Although Messrs. Rabin and Tamir are on opposite sides of the political fence, this proves to be a good-tempered discussion of the military situation, the relations among the different Arab states, the Palestinian refugees, and the importance of Anwar al-Sadat. ST: "You have noticed that the last decision made by Egypt was uttered from one mouth without the knowledge of anybody else in Egypt. It was a decision of one man, just as his courageous arrival in Jerusalem was the decision of one man. It was a great step, but of course there is permanent with it apprehension about what happens if he is removed politically or otherwise--as does happen in the Middle East so very often, especially in dictatorial countries, the Arab countries." (For the record, Mr. Sadat was assassinated in 1981, Mr. Rabin in 1995.)
