PUBLISHING SERVICES UPDATE Every year about this time activity here
in Pasadena really picks up momentum. It seems that every printing
job becomes very urgent and must be done before the Feast of Taber
nacles. We're happy to say that Mr. Armstrong's new book, The
Incredible Human Potential, is now at the printers and we expect to
deliver it on schedule at the Feast sites. We are also offering the
book free to all co-workers and that offer is about to be mailed.
Production is also well under way on Mr. Armstrong's new revised
book titled The World Tomorrow. This will also be hard-cover and
will be available at the bookshops in the spring of 1979.
As you will recall we had our own printing presses until 1974 when
we sold out. Since then we have had the PT printed by outside
commercial printers. We did, however, keep our own typesetting
and film assembly areas. This gives us maximum flexibility. I
mention this because we are presently installing a totally new,
up-to-date computerized typesetting system which we ordered in
January of this year. The system, which is costing several hundred
thousand dollars, is well worth the investment as it will speed up
our turnaround time and enable us to give the editorial department
much better service in both magazine and book production. We will
soon be setting complete pages at the touch of a button!

ON THE WORLD SCENE
PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST -- FOR A WHILE? The 13-day Camp David
Mideast Summit ended late Sunday evening, September 17, with a
dramatic and largely unexpected announcement of the signing of two
important agreements by Israel and Egypt. The first agreement,
called "A Framework For Peace in the Middle East at Camp David,"
sets forth an interim arrangement for limited Palestinian self-rule
in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and partial Israeli military with
drawal from those areas over the next five years. It is viewed as
a potential basis for iong-sought peace treaties between Israel and
her Arab neighbors.
The second Camp David agreement provides for the signing of a formal
bilateral peace treaty between Egypt and Israel within three months,
along with Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai within a year. Once
.
.
these two terms are met, this second agreement calls for the establish
ment of full diplomatic relations between the two principal Mideast
protagonists.
At a White House news conference immediately following the conclusion
of the summit, President Carter declared that the negotiations had
been successful "far beyond any expectations
,.
" representing a
"substantial achievement" toward Mideast peace. One commentator
termed the outcome "a minor miracle."
