First, please tell Henry that our permanent represen-\ntative there at the conference, after Mr. Gromyko will leave the\nconference will be our Ambassador Nadagrav. Our Ambassador\nwho is now Ambassador in Cairo.\nS:\nRight.\nD:\nHe has an assignment to stay there in Geneva. As our chief repre-\nsentative. As your Mr. Bunker.\nS:\nRight, I understand.\nD:\nBecause Henry, when he left, he asked me to tell him who it will be\nSO I would like him to know.\nS:\nVery good, I'll pass it to him right away.\nD:\nOn the second question about the draft of a new version so to speak,\nhow do you call them--\nS:\nContingency-\nD:\nContingency--on this contingency letter, I checked and received the\nfollowing answer -- I will just read it.\" As it is known to American\nside, it was not an ea sy job to reach the written agreement with\nEgyptians and Syrians on the text of a joint letter of the Soviet Union\nUnited States and Secretary General concerning peace conference.\nThe next text or contingency- of two contingency letters proposed\nby Dr. Kissinger --they do differ from the text which was agreed upon\nby us and Arab countries. We have taken note of the communication\nfrom Dr. Kissinger that he cleared the text of this contingency letters\nwith\nthe President Sadat --we perceived from the fact that he will\nclear this text with Syrians as well while he is in Damascus because\nwe don't have any time to go there and explain all the stories because\nhe knows much better and he knows allthe arguments about it.\" He\nis now in Damascus.\nS:\nI think he is about to leave--I'll call him on the phone.\nD:\nYeh, butter call him. So we proceed that he will really clear this\nwith Syrians because he spoke with Sadat who agreed with it and\nit is difficult for us to go and explain--"
