[0:04] >> This is NBC Nightly News with John
[0:06] Chancellor and David Brinkley. Tonight,
[0:08] June 17th, reported by John Chancellor
[0:11] from the NBC News Center in New York.
[0:14] >> Good evening. The Carter
[0:15] administration's hopes and plans for the
[0:17] Middle East were put out today in the
[0:19] most comprehensive form so far. The
[0:22] administration wants Israel to go back
[0:24] approximately to the borders before the
[0:26] 1967 war. But it also envisages
[0:30] additional defense lines or arrangements

[1:21] must agree to a real peace with
[1:24] conditions that would prevent a surprise
[1:25] attack on Israel. On the one hand, there
[1:29] must be recognized borders,
[1:32] but in addition, there could be separate
[1:35] lines of defense or other measures that
[1:38] could enhance Israel's security. a
[1:40] difference.
[1:41] >> Monday will also try to reassure
[1:43] Israelis and American Jews who have
[1:45] doubts about President Carter's military
[1:47] commitment to
