The primary Soviet interest in treatment of the Most likely
topics is well epitomised in s regent Moscow broadcast of a recorded
interview with Anwar Sadat. The four questions asked of him cover

sddrsssed to iadst as an Egyptian I so elatist, rf rather than as an
Egyptian nationalist (see .Attachment A).
