INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM

Arab-Israeli Situation Report

(As of 0900 EDT)

1. The American-owned, Liberian-registered tanker
which the semi-official Cairo newspaper Al-Ahram said was
forced to turn back Monday from entering the Gulf of
Aqaba still has not been identified, nor has such an
incident been confirmed by any other source. The only

2. Cairo's Middle East News Agency quotes Al-Ahram
as stating in today's issue that the military contingents
which have arrived and are continuing to arrive in Egypt
from other Arab states will be deployed to Sharm ash-Shaykh
as a symbol of Arab unity and determination. Thus far
a Kuwaiti commando battalion is the only contingent to
have arrived. An Iraqi battalion which was due in Egypt
today apparently now will arrive on 31 May instead.
