Sinai site for meeting
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) JERUSALEM, October 22. Israeli and Egyptian delegations will meet in the Sinai for the first time today to begin talks on implementing last month’s disengagement agreement.
Israeli officials said that the meeting, to take place at a United Nations camp in the buffer zone between Israeli and Egyptian forces, will mainly discuss a provisional agenda for future talks. Meanwhile, the scheduled passage through the Suez Canal today of Israeli cargo —the first allowed through the waterway for 25 years—
had been postponed for 10 days for technical reasons, Government officials said. The interim agreement allows the passage of Israeli cargo through the canal, providing that it is carried in a non-Israeli vessel. The officials said that Egypt had not been involved in the postponement. Israel has already turned over the Ras Sudar oilfields on the Suez Gulf to American oil technicians representing Egypt. Israeli forces will withdraw from the Ras Sudar area on November 15: The pull-back from the larger Abu Rudeis oil-fields further south will be on November 30. Both oil-fields were cap tured by Israel in the 1967 war. ,
