EGYPT-LIBYA
The Egyptian decision to renege on the merger
was reportedly occasioned by Sadat's first-hand in-
troduction to Qadhafi's cultural revolution during
his mid-June visit to Tripoli. The visit is said
to have confirmed his opinion that the revolution
had destroyed the relevance of all merger prepara-
tions made by the joint unity committees.
Developments in the Libyan-Egyptian rela-
tionship since the Sadat visit would seem
in retrospect to have been leading to this
decision. Officially sanctioned Cairo
press criticism of the cultural revolution
and of Qadhafi himself has steadily inten-
sified since then. The Egyptians have ,
openly expressed their doubts about the
merits of a full merger during Qadhafi's
current sojourn in Cairo.

CHILE
President Allende reportedly will name a civil-
ian cabinet today which will try to implement an
"emergency plan" to deal with the country's grave
economic and political difficulties. The president
was unable to meet military demands for participa-
tion in the cabinet.
The nationwide state of emergency, in effect
since last week, and the curfew in Santiago were
lifted yesterday.
The governing Popular Unity coalition will
now be free to mount demonstrations in
support of the government.
