The Senate Foreign Relations Committee this afternoon adopted without dissent a resolution calling on President Ford to “inform” the panel of all the assurances and undertakings by the United States related to the Sinai accord. The resolution, proposed by Sen. Jacob K. Javits (R.NY) was approved by a vote of 14-0. The committee’s action does not require full Senate approval before its transmittal to the President and goes to the White House as a committee proposal. Sen, Charles Percy (R.III.) asked the committee to go into executive session Friday to adopt a resolution on the U.S. presence in Sinai.
