I'll try to do better in the future. We've had another\nletter from Fahmi and this one is a complaint that the Israelis are not\npermitting the convoys to pass to the East side of the Canal. Now, I\ndon't know whether this is the fact to the matter or not.\nK:\nWell, why don't we take it up with Dayan tomorrow?\nS:\nAll right, we can. In the meantime if there's anything I can find out\nby way of facts from someone such as [Irvkot - sp?] for example, will\nknow what the story is. And then we can answer the Egyptians after\nwe've talked to Dayan.\nK:\nJoe, I have edited that message to Akins to make a little stronger.\nI don't know whether you've got it already.\nS:\nNo, I haven't as yet. This is the one on the Saqqat thing -- I've got it\nin front of me as I sent it to you.\nK:\nYeah. Well, I want to add a sentence at the end saying that unless\nyou know, I'm surrounded by maniacs here -- I don't know what they\ndo with cables that I -- But the point is that at the end I think we should\nsay to him explicitly there's no sense in his coming if his being here\nif not followed fairly soon by the lifting of the embargo.\nS:\nSure, sure.\nK:\nSo that he should plan his visit to precede the lifting of the embargo\nby a week or two.\nS:\nAnd connected with it.\nK:\nThat's right.\nS:\nWell, I'll have a look at the change. Anything that says, that's precisely\nthe way we feel on this end on that one."
