I had a visit from Al Zayyat and\nhe was asking me to come back to you because he is worried about what\nis going on in Egypt. Fighting broke out. They have the impression that\nthis is beginning of a new attack against the 3rd Army and that is against\nthe Security Council resolution and then he said the 3rd Army will not\nsurrender. They will keep fighting. He was very emotional. Fir st\nessential step is return of Israeli forces to line occupied on 22 of October\nas demanded by the Security Council resolution. If this doesn't happen,\nEgypt will have to extricate 3rd Army by other means. and no question\nof POW exchange for any country\nthis is turning point. If Israelis\ndon't stick to resolution, then 'no chance to settle this matter once and for\nall. And everybody recognizes this\nand US has photographic evidence\nof situation as of hours on 22 October. And no doubt. details of the\nline. and then he asked me to put this matter to you as an essential step\nin resolution. and he asked me to ask you that the US should prevail\nupon the Israelis to take this step. SO that the\nthat has been started can\nbe seized in time. And this is the content of my conversation with him.\nK: Thank you. I appreciate it. Well, I will get on it immediately.\nW: One other thing. We have some problems. I remember what you\ntole me. the Russians are insisting on having an East bloc country\nK: I told Scali we could accept Romania.\nW: We can proceed on this basis and also about the 70 Russians. I\nhave refused to integrate them in the observer corp and I told the\nRussians I couldn't do it.\nK: Exactly.\nW: Scali mentioned the possibility of accepting twenty from both sides.\nK: We don't rule that out.\nW: I will wait until I get further notificati on from you.\nK: That would be nice.\nEND"
