GENERAL
1. US attitude on Anglo-Egyptian relations-The Department
of State has instructed US Ambassador Caffery in Cairo to
inform Egyptian Government officials, at his discretion
and after discussions with his British colleague, that the
US earnestly hopes the UK and Egypt will be able to reach
a satisfactory and reasonable settlement of their differences
regarding the British military position in Egypt. The Depart-
ment adds that the US strongly supports the UK in this matter
on, the grounds that: (a) a satisfactory settlement on present
British terms would be in Egypt's own interest; and (b) it is
extremely important to Near East security and world peace
for the UK to have certain strategic facilities in Egypt, parti-
cularly in the Suez Canal Zone area,
