All told 80 per cent of the $2 billion would go to 247 metropolitan areas where nearly 69 per cent of the nation's population is. The remaining $400 million would be held by the Housing and Urban Development Department for channeling to trouble spots, rewarding with extra money particularly innovative cities, and maintaining present money levels as the programs switch over. Some $10 billion has been spent over the years on programs for urban areas. Nixon said, "The time has come to stop merely giving more money to these programs and to begin giving more thought to them."

That would mean Israel would give up the Sinai occupied in the June, 1967 war. The status of Gaza appeared to be undetermined. Egypt seized Gaza in the first Arab-Israeli war and held control under the 1949 armistice agreements.
