Your Majesty:

As so often in the past, I felt a sense of homecoming upon returning to Jordan during my latest visit to the Middle East. Nowhere in the world is the hospitality warmer, nor our feelings of friendship more sincere. I would particularly like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for making a personal effort to ensure Nancy's and my comfort during what must have been a terribly busy period for you. Your Majesty's and Queen Alia's many kindnesses were deeply appreciated, and we look forward to the time when we can repay your hospitality in Washington.

My latest tour in the Middle East has occurred at a time of important developments for the area. Our discussions helped to clarify the nature of these developments, and to reaffirm my belief in the necessity of continuing the momentum towards achieving a lasting peace in the Middle East. As always, your wisdom and courage are a source of optimism and determination to me.

Warm regards,

Henry A. Kissinger
