The timetable for implementing the Israeli-Egyptian Sinai accord was disclosed today by a military spokesman. He said that Oct. 22 was the date set for the first meeting of the joint Israeli-Egyptian military committee set up by the accord to oversee its implementation.

The timetable is as follows: November 11–Israeli forces evacuate the Ras Sudar region and oil fields on the eastern shores of the Gulf of Suez: November 16–Egyptians enter the Ras Sudar area; November 24–Italian technicians take over the Abu Rodeis oil fields; November 30–Israel evacuates the entire “oil corridor” between Ras Sudar and Abu Rodeis; December 1–Egyptians enter the oil corridor; December 28–Egyptian engineering corps enter the Gidi Pass to build a surveillance station there.
