Israel has said it will not
withdraw its 30,000 troops
from Lebanon unless some
40,000 Syrians and 10,000 PLO
guerrillas do so at the same
time.
Mubarak also views with
alarm the planned Israeli
withdrawal from the Shouf
Mountains near Beirut to less
vulnerable positions behind a
heavily fortified line at the
Awali River in southern
Lebanon.
Egyptian leaders say the
move portends a prolonged
Israeli presence in Lebanon
that could lead to the annexa-
tion of southern Lebanon into
the Jewish state
Mubarak also was expected
to ask Reagan to apply new
pressure on Israel to confront
the region’s long-term
problem, a homeland for
Palestinians in the West
Bank.
Mubarak said he had been
promised by McFarlane
Sunday that the United States
would “reactivate”

Before flying to New York,
Mubarak will stop in Paris for
a short meeting with
President Francois Mit-

on developments in the
Middle East and Chad, a
former French colony.
After meeting with Reagan,
Mubarak will stop in London

DeGuere also promises the

that some of the high-tech

“We will be technically

can, reallly. There already
are a hundred magazines and
