Less than
a month after becoming president, Gerald Ford meets with Israeli
prime minister Yitzak Rabin in the Oval Office, along with Deputy
National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft and Secretary of State

really understood the need for a step-by-step process of trying to eliminate
the conflict between the Arabs and the Israelis.
