    "ocrText": "Telcon\nSecretary Kissinger\nSecretary-General Waldheim\n11/21/73; 9:05 a. m.\n(Missed the first part)\nW: I hope you are not too tired.\nK: No.\nW: I know what such a trip does -- means. Dr. Kissinger, I have tried\nto keep you informed through my last letter but of course there are a number\nof developments which I think are important. As far as Syria is concerned,\nthe things are not going too well. The D Guyia\nmission\nhe is back\nnow -- did not really produce a breakthrough. They insist-he had a long\ntalk with President Asad. They insist on the return to the 5th of October\nlines and a return of the 15,000 civilians. They would then exchange the\nprisoners. Send back those Israeli prisoners. But there is one\nof hope. That is that they are negative on some sort of meetings. Perhaps\neven military meetings following the example on the Egyptian front. I don't\nknow what that will produce. Unfortunately the Ambassador here is not --\nI don't have the impression that he is really authorized to have negotiations\non\nthis subject. But both sides Mrs. Meir and President Assad insisted\nheavily on continuing to talk, especially Assad. Mrs. Meir they appreciate\nthe fact that I send Guyia there and that we are trying to be helpful and\nrepeatedly insisted to continue to talk. So I do not exclude that something\nwill finally come out. So I thought I should let you know this.\nK: Well, I appreciate this. I understand that you and I are going to get\ntogether in the next few days.\nW: Well, I suggested that. I would be very happy to see you and to discuss\nmore in detail the situation but I haven't got any information from your\noffice when you would suggest that I come for insistence to Washington -- if it\nis easier for you or whether it is when you are here in New York. I leave\nit to you. You are very busy now and I can imagine it is not too easy for\nyou to come.\nK: No, I approvexit yesterday.\nW : Oh, I didn't know.\nK: And I am sure we will be working it out within the next day.\nW: Oh, very good. So I will get then the information from your Mission here.\nK: Absolutely."
