SECRET Dear Madam Prime Minister: I have conveyed to the Syrian President the U.S. position with regard to paragraph 1 of the agreement. This position was understood by President Asad and he will act accordingly. In the course of tisscnmverrsation, President Asad made the following additional comments: (1) We are anxious to do nothing that would upset the caasefire; (2) We will take extra care in the border areas; (3) There will be no firing across our front line into Israeli- held territory; (4) There will be no launching eites on our territory for attacks on Israeli-held territory; (5) There will be no possibility for organized armed bands to cross into Israel; (6) No Fedayeen will be stationed in our front areas facing Israel; (7) We will do our best to prevent individuals from coossing the border. President Asad also added that publication of these assurances would make it very difficult to implement them.

The United States would consider any violation of these assurances a matter of grave concern.

Dear Madam Prime Minister: In connection with the conclusion of the agreement on the disengagement of Syrian and Israeli forces, I understand how essential it is that all aspects of the ceasefire and disengagement be scrupulously observed. In particular, the United States has already expressed its view that an attack across the disengage- ment line by armed groups or individuals would be in violation of the ceasefire. Should a situation arise in which Israel finds it necessary to take action in such attacks direct response to or to defend itself against such them, attacks, the United States would not consider this a violation of the ceasefire and would block attempts in the United Nations to condemn the Israeli response as a violation of the disengagement agreement. In addition, Madam Prime Minister, I want you to know that I am prepared to undertake a diplomatic offensive throughout the Middle East against terrorism and to make personal representations on this subject if my trip to the area materializes. Sincerely, (Richard Nixon) Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified. 5/22/74 DRAFT President Hafez Assad and Secretary of State Kissinger today concluded a series of talks on the question of separation of forces between Syria and Isracl.
