L s esseS irnPerthn a of f h,_odesi ics--Tie Department 'q- TS
of State has i ormed the US Mission in Tel Aviv of recent
conversations with the Israeli and Egyptian representatives
in Washington. The Department advised the Israeli repre-
sentative of its apprehensiui over repots indicating that
Israel had postponed evacuation ct Egyptian forces trapped
at Faluja, despite a voluntary agreement entered into by
Israeli and Egyptian delegates at Rhodes for the uncondi-
tional release cf these forces. The Department also stressed
to both the' IF gyptia.a and Israeli representatives the hope that
neither government would take a position which would cause
the armistice negotiations at Rhodes to break down, because
the US very rnu,h desires a prompt and successful conclusion
to the negotiation.
