Kissinger on two-week trip to Middle East

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is on a two-week Middle East trip that includes visits with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Both Mr. Kissinger's aides and a State Department spokesman characterized the trip as "private" and taken on Kissinger's own initiative. The trip comes after consultation with both President-elect Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State-designate Alexander Haig, says a Kissinger aide.
