The authoritative Cairo newspaper A1 Ahram said Friday that Egypt has informed the United States that U.S. aerial reconnaissance of the cease-fire zone is unacceptable to her. The U.S. State Department said as recently as Thursday that it would continue its high-level aerial photographic surveillance of the zone. A1 Ahram said the cease-fire agreement called solely for mutual surveillance by Israel and Egypt, and said it had no intention of complicating the situation by calling on the Soviet Union to check on Israeli adherence to the truce.
