U.S. bolsters
moderate Arabs
WASHINGTON
The Reagan administration is
moving swiftly, both militarily
and diplomatically, to bolster
moderate Arab nations to
prevent them from being en
gulfed by chaos after Egyptian
Pres Anwar Sadat's assassina
tion
The nightmarish fear for the
administration is that Egypt,
weakened by Sadat's death,
could be plunged into Iranian
type chaos because of internal
dissension or outside interfer
ence — or both
While the administration
already had been seeking to
build a diplomatic and security
network for the Middle East,
partly to protect the region's oil
resources, that effort has been
sharply accelerated since Sadat
was assassinated last Tuesday
Among the measures
• A large-scale joint U S -Egyp
tian military exercise next
month that will involve a large
number of American troops and
