Yesterday the Egyptians attempted to add additional trucks to the convoy. We said no. However, in line with the request of the President, the Prime Minister has now agreed to permit an additional twenty to thirty trucks containing general supplies plus ten to twelve additional trucks with medical supplies over and above the 100 originally agreed-to. The Israeli checkpoints have already been notified to clear the trucks. The Prime Minister also wanted Dr. Kissinger to know that she was not only authorizing the additional trucks but that they were also helping the Egyptians transfer the cargo over the Canal by furnishing additional barges and permitting additional people to work on the loading and unloading. (This they have done on their own initiative -- there had been no complaints from the Egyptians.) The Prime Minister requests urgently of the President that during his meeting with Minister Fahmi, he press on him the importance of a general exchange of prisoners at the earliest possible moment.

MEMORANDUM Loxat to Engledenger 5:52 pm. 29 Get 73 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 29, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD Minister Shalev gave me a report on the second meeting between the Israeli and Egyptian Generals (12 Noon Cairo time). The Egyptians raised the matter of Israeli withdrawal to the 22 Octo- ber lines; the establishment of regular resupply convoys to the Third Army; and the acceleration of the unloading of the first convoy. The Israelis, in turn, raised the following: (1) The question of regular resupply convoys and the lines of 22 October would have to be dealt with at a political level; (2) They agreed that five amphibious vehicles and 50 workers should be used to trans-ship the supplies across the Canal; (3) An acceleration of the exchange of the wounded and of lists of POW's; (4) Immediate visits by the ICRC to the wounded and the POW's; (5) Develop a time-table for the exchange of the POW's. The Egyptians handed over a list of 45 wounded prisoners and 6 dead and promised by tonight's meeting a positive reply on: (1) the readi- ness to return the wounded prisoners; (2) arrangements with the ICRC to visit the wounded with medical supplies; (3) the evacuation of seriously wounded prisoners, both in the Third Army and in Israeli hospitals. The Egyptians also promised a list of all POW's within three days, but stated they were not yet in a position to discuss a time-table for POW exchanges. The atmosphere of the meeting was fairly good. The Egyptian General said he understood the delay in the convoy unloading and that they had no real complaints about it. There were no threats by the Egyptian side of renewed force. They did complain about the shooting down of heli- copters which may have been evacuating the wounded. Brent Scowcroft Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.

B BRENT SCOWCROFT 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. I wish to inform you of the following developments: 1. Although the supply column has been in principle allowed to continue towards its destination, it was delayed by the Israelis who created technical difficulties and finally shot at the column. 2. The meeting arranged for 2400 hours October 27, 1973 was finally held, however, the Israelis insisted that they were not authorized to discuss the implementation of the Security Council Resolutions con- cerning the restoration of the line of 22 October 1973. They introduced new elements regarding the exchange of POW's and the question of the maritime lines of communication in the Red Sea. However, I must admit that the meeting was dignified. A date for a new meeting was not fixed, though we are agreeable to meet again as soon as possible. 3. President Sadat has decided to send immediately to Washington Minister Ismail Fahmi accompanied by Ambassador al Iryan to meet you and acquaint you with the events of the last few days as well as to present to you in preparation for your forthcoming visit to Egypt, the Egyptian concept for the establishment of durable and just peace.

URGENT ATTENTION PERSONAL/EYES October 26, 1973 9:45 a.m. Mr. Secretary: From Sonnenfeldt tts. Re Soviet truce observers. I would really urge you in strongest terms to make a try at getting the Soviets excluded from both the UNTSO and UNEF contingents ( Iam not sure how the two differ: presumably they don't, for now, but the latter may later be transformed into some kind of peacekeeping operation.) First, the presence of Soviet personnel will mean constant bickering within UNTSO about who started one or another violation: Second, it will mean that the inevitable disputes about what the October 22 cease-fire really were will be compounded by partisan Soviet interpretations: Third, there is real danger that if the Soviets show up near the Israeli lines there will be incidents. None of this is offset by inclusion of US observers. On top of that, WE have spilled blood with the UK and French by excluding Permanent members from the UNEF. As long as the distinction between UNTSO and UNEF is unclear, the already growing tension with the British and French (even if it is largely due to their own stupidity and myopia) is going to become worse if it now turns out that great aower personnel is included after all. Our proposal night before last was made in different circumstances, as was your press conference comment: WE intended them as face-savers for Brezhnev. Consequently, I believe it is very much in our interest to go to both the Egyptians and the Soviets -- who, incidentally out their people in unilaterally even though the President's letter had specifically said there should first be consultations on modalities between US and Soviet representatiies --and tell them that in the new circumstances we should bothkstay out of the truce supervision and observation business. This is important for another reason: for once Waldheim was willing to take action on his own to keep the Soviets out; he will never do it again if WE now taan his flank. Finally, WE have not thought through the whole US/Soviet guarantee business and what precise roles we play. It is clear from the pre-history that the Soviets want these guarantees" applied in the first instance to force Israeli withdrawal. Before WE concede the principal of US/Soviet involvement in UNTSO or UNEF, WE should get our own thinking clear. Any demarche to the Soviets and Egyptians on this could leave open whether or not Soviets stay somewhere behind the Egyptian lingsproduced Richard Nixon residential Library. to get them out al- DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.
