The state-controlled Middle East news agency, quoting a source close to the doctors who examined the shah at the heavily guarded Armed Forces Hospital said "his condition is not as badly worrisome as media reports have pictured it." The shah and Empress Farah, who arrived on a chartered DC-8 from Panama after 100 days in exile on Contadora Island, were warmly greeted by President Anwar Sadat at Cairo airport. "Yes, he is permanent," Sadat told reporters who asked if the shah will stay in Egypt for good. The shah and the president flew by helicopter to the Nile-side hospital in suburban Maadi and hours later, the news agency said other unidentified members of the shah's family flew into Cairo and were met by Sadat's youngest daughter.
