“I held a personal, warm talk with President Sadat and I may say that we like each other. He has a sense of humor–and I, too , sometimes have a sense of humor. We exchanged views. I think a fitting personal tie has been established between us.”
This was Premier Menachem Begin’s summation of his first brief session last night with President Anwar Sadat. The Premier spoke to a radio reporter. Looking ahead to the rest of the visit, Begin said: “We shall take advantage of every opportunity as we have agreed, in order to hold private, personal talks.”Question: “Beyond this visit as well?” Begin: “I hope there will be a continuation.”
