Carter Administration
May Offer Stationary
U.S. Troops In Mideast
WASH.NGTON (WNS)-
The Carter Administration
has apparently been floating
a trial balloon on the eve of
the Camp David summit
meeting about the possibility
of stationing American
troops in West Bank and the
Sinai as a means of achieving a Middle East peace settlement! After several days
of newspaper speculation on
the subject,. President
C^rtler said Aug. 30, as he
was! about to return here
from a 10-day vacation, that
: he would be "reluctant" to
station U.S. troops in either
area. "But I'll have to wait
and see." This was an indication that he has not ruled
out the possibility entirely.
The idea reportedly orgl-
nated with Carter's National
.Security Advisor, Zbigniew
Brzezinski, But Brzezinski's
office stressed Aug. 30 that
reports of "specific proposals at this time are speculative and premature." A
spokesman noted that it has.
always been known that the
President would make suggestions at Camp David to
bridge ' the gap between

Decision To Be Reached Soon
On Location Of New Center
Set For Summit
Intense preparations have been underway, for the
summit at Camp David between President Carter,
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egypt
President Anwar Sadat.    •
President Carter and Prime Minister Begin have
met on four.previous occasions—ih July and December
of 1977, and March and May, 1978. Here they are shown
talking together after one of the 1978 sessions.
The President once said of Prime Minister Begin: "I
like him, admire him, and respect him, because-
throughout his conversation with me in the quiet, lonely, private times together, and even when he talks with
others in a larger group, there is a fervor of a deeply
committed religious man who again worships the same
God I do, and you do."
President Carter also once referred to the Prime
Minister as "a strong leader/'
"He is a man of deep convictions and unshakeable
„ principle. Heis a mah of truth and quiet dignity. He is a
4mah who is polite arid very modest."

For the past three years,
the Jewish Center has been
involved in the process of
seeking to build a new facility to meet the growing
needs of the Jewish community. It has been a careful
and, at times, difficult task.
Originally, the goal was to
refurbish and upgrade the
existing Center; however, it
soon became apparent from
studies by the Architects and
Engineers that efforts
should instead be directed
toward a completely new
building, since the cost differential between refurbishing and building from
scratch would not be significant.
The determination where
to build the best Jewish Center for the community has
been taking place for more
than two years. At least 10
different locations were reviewed by the Search Committee of the Joint Committee of the Jewish -Center/Federation. The Joint
Committee finalized their
considerations to three
recommended locations. The
-Jewish Renter "Executive
Committee has reviewed the
findings and accepted .the
top rated site as the one to be
presented as an alternative
with the present Jewish Center site. These two sites, College Ave. and east of 1-270
between Main and .Broad
Sts., will be thoroughly reviewed by the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Center before a final decision is made.
At the Open Meeting of the'
Jewish Center membership
and Jewish community in
general, on Monday, Sept.
. 18, at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Jewish Center,
information on the two proposed sites will be presented
in detail. Some background
material pertaining to each
of the two sites and of the
program that is intended for
the new building is included
