Following His Excellency Anwar Sadat’s visit to Beirut and the parties and gatherings that took place in his honor, it was said that important negotiations were conducted between him and members of the opposition in support of the revolution and its men and in support of the multi-lateral pact held between Egypt, Saudi and Syria.  Also, in to do what’s possible to stand against the Iraq-Turkey pact and other foreign pacts in support of leaders of Arab pacts and members of the opposition in order to gain their commitment to do the impossible at any cost to stand against the [Iraqi] Crown Prince to regain his senses and take a stand with his sisters Egypt, Saudi and Syria.  This is what Haj Al-Awni kept repeating at parties he attended in Sadat’s honor.  I also found out that Sadat had promised to make donations to the Association of Islamic Provisions, the Muslim Scout and the Nejdi upon his return to Egypt.  This is to support their efforts and finance their needs.  There was also talks about holding the second Islamic Conference accompanied by Islamic notes and directives.  This conference is set to be held in Beirut in early June, 1956.
