I don't support Carter but I do give him credit for this. Washington, March 26 -- After confronting each other for nearly 31 years as hostile neighbors, Egypt and Israel signed a formal treaty at the White house today to establish peace and "normal and friendly relations." On this chilly early spring day, about 1,500 invited guests and millions more watching television saw President Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel put their signatures on the Arabic, Hebrew and English versions of the first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab country. President Carter who was credited by both leaders for having made the agreement possible, signed, as a witness, for the United States. In a somber speech he said, "Peace has come." 'The First Step of Peace' "We have won, at last, the first step of peace -- a first step on a long and difficult road," he added. Later, at a state dinner, Mr. Begin suggested that Mr. Carter be given the Nobel Peace Prize, and Mr. Sadat agreed. At the signing ceremony, all three leaders offered prayers that the treaty would bring true peace to the Middle East and end the enmity that has erupted into war four times since Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948.
