Bir Urayyidah is an important forward ground control intercept station serving the Bani Suwayf airfield, where Soviet-manned aircraft are based. A month ago Soviet experts were at the Bir Urayyidah ground control station, but we do not know if they were there yesterday/ The Israelis, in addition to maintaining military pressure on Egypt, are probably testing Soviet reaction to attacks in various areas. Last week their aircraft struck at Al Salihiyah, some 20 miles west of the Suez Canal. It lies on the western edge of the zone where the Is- raelis insist they must have freedom to bomb. 1 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008400210001-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008400210001-1 Cambodia: Current Situation Thbeng) ? ,B,k E kAMeanchey . _ ... , REAP " I .
