The 1978 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded here today to Israeli Premier Menachem Begin and to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who was represented at the ceremony by former Parliament Speaker Said Marai. Both men, Begin in his address, and Sadat in his message read out by Marai, pledged themselves in the Israeli Premier’s words, to: “no more war, no more blood and no more enmity.”
Both men also paid tribute to President Carter for his role in the current peace process and for his “energy and devotion to peace.” The Nobel Peace committee also mentioned at length in its citation the role played by the American President during and after the Camp David negotiations.
