Foreign Minister Abba Eban returned from a five-day visit to the US and said he had the Impression that the Middle East would not be a primary subject of discussion during President Nixon’s visit to Moscow next month. Eban said there seemed to be no change in the US position that a Middle East settlement cannot be imposed from outside the region but must be reached by free negotiations between the parties concerned.
He said the Rogers Plan was not discussed during his talks in Washington. Eban said the Americans seemed to have no reservations about Premier Golda Meir’s forthcoming official visit to Rumania and noted that the US welcomes all efforts to promote peace in the Mideast.
