...Against Two. Saud reportedly assured his fellow Arabs that Ike had given his personal word that the Israelis would be required to withdraw without conditions, and that U.S. aid under the Eisenhower Doctrine would be unconditional. Saud tried hard to get agreement on a paragraph condemning Communist infiltration in the Middle East and to get Nasser to endorse the Eisenhower plan. In turn, Saud beat down Syrian Kuwatly's attempt to express appreciation of Russian help to the Arab cause, and refused Nasser's plea for support of his plan to block clearance of the Suez Canal...
