...Israel will turn back to Egypt the Abu Rudeis oilfields; since being captured in the Six-Day War, they have furnished 50% of Israel's domestic petroleum requirements. Egypt will resume operation of the fields, acquiring access to them over an Egyptian-controlled highway along the Gulf of Suez coast. Israel will service its troops remaining in the area by means of a parallel road. In places where the two roads come close to each other, Israel will build detours in order to avoid incidents. The U.S., meanwhile, will guarantee Israel alternative oil supplies...
PROPAGANDA. Cairo will tone down anti-Israeli propaganda, and will search for loopholes to permit investment in Egypt by foreign firms that are on the Arab League boycott list for dealings with Israel.

The passes are the only viable routes through the Sinai mountains for armies moving either toward the Suez Canal or away from it toward the Israeli border. Israel, which controls the passes, has offered to pull back to their eastern end, where it maintains electronic listening equipment to monitor Egyptian troop movements. Egypt's Sadat, on the other hand, demands that Israel pull out of both passes completely. He has threatened not to renew the mandate of the United Nations peace...
