U.S. to Share Cost of Opening Suez Canal
The United States will pay "tens of millions of dollars" helping to clear the Sucea Canal of mines and unexploded ordnance, the Pentagon said yesterday. Within the next few weeks about 500 U.S. Navy and Army men will be dispatched to both clear the canal of mines and train the Egyptians to remove tons of unexploded munitions buried in or along the 103-mile length of the waterway.
The United States and Egypt announced Monday a joint agreement to open the canal, but details on how it would be done haven't been made public. The president said he planned to open the canal within the next few months.
Germany to Pay for U.S. Troops On Its Soil
Germany to Pay for U.S. Troops on Its Soul
West Germany agreed yesterday to offset the costs of stationing
military forces in the region.
After the new agreement was reached, President Nixon declared himself unalterably opposed to congressional cutback moves. He told the National Association of Broadcasters in Houston that bringing the troops home would be "disastrous in the long-range."
Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz and West German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt completed terms of the agreement at a two hour and 45 minute meeting in Washington. It replaces an expired pact under which the Germans bore about 80 per cent of the costs.

The United States and Israel set March 29 for beginning serious negotiations in Washington on a disengagement of the Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said he would be in touch with Damascus on when the Syrian part of the talks would begin.
The wounded U.N. observers were the first to hit by shellfire in five months of Midwest peacekeeping. Both Syria and Israel accused the other of being responsible.
Government to Lock Up Rationing Coupons
With the oil embargo off, the government is locking 4.9 billion ration coins printed at a cost of $12 million in hopes they'll never be used.

Meanwhile, the government's biggest worry is security. The coupons are being distributed to various locations around the country and kept under lock and key.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — American olmied said yesterday that it will take a few days to restore oil production cuts imposed during the October war against Israel.
Arab Oil to Flow Again in Few Days
Oil industry sources disclosed that some Arab governments have not yet officially notified their foreign concessionaires of the oil embargo as of yesterday and restore production cuts, primarily because some oil ministers have not yet returned from
"This is a matter of one or two days," said a spokesman for Arameo, the Arabian-American oil company operating in Saudi Arabia. "We are in contact with the Saudi government every day. As soon as we get our approval from the government and wait for the tankers to show up."
A number of empty tankers were reported waiting in Middle East ports for orders to start loading, but the Aramco spokesman said that the case at Ras Tamaru" in Saudi Arabia.
"The they are probably on the way," he added. "When they will arrive is anybody's guess. Loading takes about a day. And it may be that they are the tankers to reach the American coast."
The Aramco spokesman and sources in several other oil companies said it would only take a "few days" to restore Arab oil from the Gulf coast. Oil from Algerian ports could reach the United States more quickly over a shorter route. In Algerians, officials said the government had taken steps to prevent the embargue and there was nothing to prevent loading of oil at Algerian ports.

KU Gets Estate Funds
Algeria exported $190 million worth of petroleum products to the United States in 1973. The country accepted the lifting of the embargo with some reluctance, and with the specific reservation that it may be reimposed if there has been no progress toward a Middle East settlement within two months.
Libya, which along with Syria opposed the lifting of the oil embargo announced in
Vienna on Monday, called the decision an "act of treason," especially since fighting has flared again on the Golan Heights border between Syria and Israel.
In the Netherlands a Foreign Ministry spokesman said the embargo remaining against Holland will hurt not only Holland but all of Europe. Rotterdam, a main oil port in the country, has an embargo, he said, and since the port is an integral part of Europe's economic life, this

The Middle East Economic Survey, a well-informed oil journal, said Arab countries had cut back production by 2,939,000 barrels per day. That amount would restore production to September 1973 levels of 20,470,000 barrels per day.
