Vance," who leaves late Friday for Israel and Egypt," spent over two hours discussing the Middle East and SALT negotiations with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As for his trip, he told reporters, "I don't expect anything dramatic or new to come out of these conversations." Administration officials said the Vance mission, which the United States initially hoped would mark the opening of direct negotiations between Egypt and Israel," has turned into a damage assessment visit.

of Houston was awarded a 160,490 contract by the school board Thursday for structural repairs to the high school stadium.

The officials said a decision will be made on whether and when to put forward an American proposal only after Vance returns to Washington and reports to President Carter.

In Cairo" Foreign Minister Ibrahim Kamel spoke to reporters after a 90-minute meeting with U.S. Middle East envoy Alfred Atherton on the chances of Egypt reconsidering its rejection of further face-to-face negotiations with Israel. Both Kamel and Atherton said the Egyptian position remains unchanged and the peace-making process will have to await Vance's arrival.

The Foreign Relations Committee chairman, Sen. John Sparkman," said Vance told the panei that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's negotiating initiative "has not run its full course." Sen. Richard Stone, D- said the committee focused on the Saudi Arabian role in Sadat's decision not to continue direct negotiations. "I think it's fair to say that the committee expressed considerable concern and distress about the Saudi role," Stone said, "which contrary to expectations at the lime of the sale of F-15 (jets), doesn't appear to be helping the Sadat initiative." One of the arguments that the administration used in pushing the Saudi airplane sale through Congress was that it would maintain some American influence over the Saudis and encourage them to play a further moderating role.
