dent 's car. We waited for sorne
little time. Then Dr. M. Abdul–
Kader Hatem, our friend of sorne
six or more years' standing, per–
sonal adviser to Mr. Sadat, joined
us in our car. A si ren pilot car led
the procession ahead of the presi–
dential car. We were speeded in
this motorcade through crowded
traffic to the palace. C rowds lined
the street waving at their presi–
dent. The ambulance, J learned ,
now follows the presidential car
wherever it is driven- another
price Mr. Sadat pays for his
peace efforts with Israel.
Al the palace Mr. Sadat had
entered before we left our car.
The First Lady was waiting for us
on the front portico. We had met
her before. She took my arm and
walked with me inside, through a
wide corridor, and into a recep–
tion room on the left. On the
right, in another room, a group of
U.S. congressmen had been wait–
ing for the president. They knew
we were Americans, and quizzi–
cally questioned our being there.
The reception room was all set
up for TV lighting by both our
own TV crew and the govern–
ment 's. President Sadat saw the
congressmen for sorne twenty
minutes first , while his wife
entertained us. As he carne in, she
left. Madam Sadat is a very beau–
tiful and charming lady.
After shaking hands and being
photographed with TV cameras
on us, we took seats prepared so
that the president and I sat close
in a corner, 1 on a sofa with Mr.
Rader on my right and Mr .
Gotoh on his right , a nd Dr.
Hatem seated on a chair close to
and on the left of Mr . Sadat. The
TV cameras continued for a cou–
ple minutes, or so, then turned off
the very bright lights and left.
That evening, on the TV eve–
ning news, in both English and
A rabie, considerable coverage
was given to our meeting, but
none to the U.S. congressmen.
We discussed world conditions,
causes of evils and of peace, and
affirmed the building of "an iron
bridge of peace" between Egypt
and America.

Then President Sadat showed
me the architect 's rendering of
the projected $70 million World
Peace Center at the base of
Mount Sina i .
It
portrayed a
walled complex within which
were a masque, a synagogue and a
church, symbolizing cooperation
between religions and between
nations. Adjoining is to be con–
structed a modern resort hotel.
It
is especially significant that
this World Peace Center is to be
constructed at the base of Mount
Sinai, for there it has a meaning it
could not have anywhere else on
earth. It was atop Mount Sinai
that God gave to
J
srael and the
world- written on tablets of

TEN BROAD PRINCJPLES OF PEACE
ANO UNIVERSAL WELL-BEI NG
ANO ABUNDANCE!
There are, 1 repeat again .and
again and again, the TWO ways,
broadly speaking, of life-the one
l simplify as "GIVE," the other
"GET."
The Ten Commandments sum
up in ten points the spi ritual LAw
OFGoo--outflowing LOVE to God,
and to neighbor. The first four sum–
marize the principie of lave to God,
and the last six toman.
The whole world has grossly
overlooked tbe whole purpose and
meaning of human Ji fe on the earth.
The world has entirely mistaken the
purpose and meaning of govern–
ment, of religion, of science and
technology, of education.
Humans were created and put
on eartb to BUlLO PERFECT CHAR–
ACTER. To produce, to accom–
plish, to create a bundance, and to
do it in peace, happiness and
joy.
lt
all boils down to
a way of
lije!
The way to peace, to happi–
ness, to production, to accom–
plishment , to invigorating, satis–
fying, exhilarating achievement,
to true success, is
the way
of
"GIVE." That is the way of out–
flowing !ove to God and to man.
The way of mutual serving, help–
ing, sbaring, cooperating. You
help me produce and [ help you.
Together, both producing, we
have more than when 1 try to
"GET" by taking what you have
produced, and you strive to take
from me what
1
already have.
The purpose of government is
to regulate the behavior and per–
formance of people in this "give"
way-to prevent the self-centered
greedy or hostile from stepping
on the true rights of others- to
guide those subject to the govern–
ment into
the way
of "GIVE."
The real purpose of education
