governments. On this flight we had a short daylight day, a short
night, and another short daylight day, landing about 9:00 p.m.
after dark. At Geneva we had one important meeting with
ambassadors from foreign nations, one of whom was the Ambassador
from Egypt.
Then we flew on to Cairo. Our Japanese friends had long
meetings with Egyptian government people there, and we had another
meeting with President Sadat's chief assistant, Dr, Mohammed Abdul
Lader Hattem. There we laid out definite plans for transferring
the next public appearance campaign from Ethiopia to Cairo. Also
plans were made for Dr. Hattem to accompany us for a private visit
with King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, as well as private visits to
the Presidents of Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria along the north
coast of Africa. We have also discussed with him the possibility
of opening Radio Cairo for The WORLD TOMORROW program and the
television station for the Garner Ted Armstrong program.
The meeting in Jerusalem was the largest of any attended
in the past six years in Israel. The meeting was sponsored by
the Japanese Ambassador. All invitations were sent out from the
Japanese Embassy. Both the Ambassador and the leader of the
Japanese Diet delegation, Mr. Yamaguchi, explained how I had
worked to bring the two nations, Japan and Israel, together in
closer friendship and peace -- not only by this trip, but by the
archaeological excavation at Tel-Zeror, jointly sponsored by
Ambassador College and the Japanese government, and in other
important ways.
I always speak along the same lines, and I work for world
peace in all parts of the world.
Our really big meeting in Israel is now set for early
November, when I will be able to speak for at least 45 minutes,
giving them the real Gospel, which they have never heard. The
most important officials of government, of Hebrew University,
and the University of Tel Aviv, important private citizens and
business executives will be there.
At one of the dinners in Tokyo, the President of Waseda
University, the largest private university in Japan, and wife
promised definitely to attend and speak at the next Ambassador
College commencement in Pasadena. This man is the one who took
notes on everything I said at the testimonial dinner in Tokyo
last year.
Then at a dinner in Tel Aviv the other night, Professor
Mazar, former President of Hebrew University, and now director
of our archaeological project at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
(including several hundred of our students who worked there under
him for the past five years) also promised to attend our next
graduation in Pasadena. So, once again, we will have important
educational officials from both Japan and Jerusalem, come to
Pasadena.
There is SO MUCH more to tell you about how the Work is
developing -- almost faster than I can keep up with it. But I
