Official White House sources at the press center here confirmed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency late today that Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Defense Minister Ezer Weizman met privately with President Carter for 80 minutes at mid-day and then late this afternoon Dayan and President Anwar Sadat of Egypt met for 75 minutes. In between these two meetings Carter met with Sadat for one hour. This same source confirmed that Weizman met with Sadat last night. There was no immediate explanation why Israeli Premier Menachem Begin was not present at these meetings. Meanwhile, the JTA learned that the process for a “framework” is back in high gear and Carter may announce the results on television tomorrow.
