Excerpts from Agency sit rep:
"General: The night passed quietly on the Egyptian
front after a day in which the "biggest armored clash
in Israeli history" was fought on the Egyptian front.
There has been no further word on the outcome of this
,battle in the central sector of the canal. Both sides
report having inflicted heavy losses, but the report-
ing does not suggest any significant change in the bat-
tle line running generally about ten miles east of the
canal. The Syrian front remained quiet after a day in
which little fighting was noted. The forces on both
sides may be resting or regrouping after the heavy
battles Tuesday. The Israelis apparently are consol-
idating their positions in the salient they have pushed
out from the Golan Heights."
--Abu Dhabi today announced a halt of oil exports to the
United States, according to a western news service. The
announcement warned that similar action would be taken
against any other state which in the future gave support
to Israel."
