at combatting the Arab boycott it would mean the loss
of millions of dollars in business for the United States.
The warning came from eight Arabs who addressed

meeting last week sponsored by the Wayne County.

past two years when it got $1
billion in loans and credits
and agricultural com¬
modities under the Food for
Peace program; and that an
agreement seems to have
been reached that U.S. arms
in quantity will be for¬
thcoming for Egypt. The
details of the Carter-Sadat'
talks remained vague,
however.
Sadat stated, during the
welcoming ceremonies at
the White House April 4 and
again at a press conference
at Blair House April 6 that
the "core and. crux" of the'
Middle East conflict was the
Palestinian issue and'
Israel's continued oc¬
cupation of Arab territory.
Carter said, after a 95-
minute meeting with Sadat
April 5 that the Egyptian
leader was "helpful in
making nie understand more
of the prospects for a per¬
manent peace."
Presidential     Press
Secretary Jody Powell told
reporters at a press briefing
that the subject ■ of U.S.
supplies of weapons for
Egypt arose "in general
terms" at the final Carter-
Sadat meeting but that "no
commitments or decisions
were anticipated and they '
would not be made without ,
appropriate consideration of
Congress." He did not
foreclose any arms com¬
mitments, i
Sadat insisted that he
■.brought no weapons
"shopping list" ' to
Washington. However, in
interviews published before
his arrival he said Egypt
sought 250 missile-carrying
American., fighter planes.,
electronic equipment and
TOW-anfi-tank missiles. He
also ' indicated that Egypt
required $5-$10 billion in U.S.
economic credits.
Powell confirmed that
Sadat did not present a list of
military hardware to Carter
But the Egyptian president
is understood to have sub¬
mitted such requests to
Defense Secretary Harold
Brown with whom he met on
April 5.
Sadat, expounding on his
formula for Mideast peace at -
his Blair House press con¬
ference, said he "accepted"
the State of Israel and
"normalization" of relations
between Egypt and Israel.
But he insisted that he would
not' establish trade or
cultural relations with the
Jewish State.
"You should not put in the
• peace) agreement for us to
make trade with Israel when
they are in a i economic
mess like me," he said.
On cultural .matters, such
as exchange visits between
Egyptian and Israeli
newsmen. Sadat said he had
no personal objections but
"our people are not read\
after 29 years ol war. hatred
