Earlier today President Nasser of Egypt cate- gorically rejected the ultimatum to put British and French troops in the Canal zone.
President Nasser also appealed to President Eisenhower and the Soviet Premier, Marshal Bul- ganin, to stop Britain and France.
The British-French ultimatum "could not pos- sibly be accepted by Egypt,” Colonel Nasser said.
Colonel Nasser said Egypt would have no alternative but to defend itself in the event of "any attack"."
A New York report said the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Dr Mahmoud Fawzi, sent a letter to the President of the Security Council asking that the "threat of force by the French and British Govern- ments" to occupy Egyptian territory be considered at an immediate meeting of the Security Council.
