Dear Zayd:

I want you to know how much I enjoyed my latest visit to Jordan and how grateful I am for the opportunity to consult with you again. Your hospitality, as always, was overwhelming. I especially appreciated the expedition to Petra and the chance to relax among such good friends in Aqaba. I ask that you pass along a special note of thanks from me to all those who helped make this visit possible.

I shall treasure the antiquities which the government so graciously presented me at Petra, but I am not sure whether I shall ever live down that photograph of me in a kaffiya.

I believe our talks were significant and highly fruitful. They have further strengthened the long-standing friendship between our two governments. They also have served to move forward the prospect of a lasting peace in the Middle East.

His Excellency
Zayd Rifai,
Prime Minister of the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
Amman.

October 15, 1974

Your Majesty:

I would like to express my deep appreciation for your warm reception during my latest visit to Jordan. I was, as ever, overwhelmed by your gracious hospitality and wish to thank you for your many kindnesses. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to visit Petra and Aqaba and wish to thank Your Majesty for arranging this special treat.

Our extensive discussions both in Jordan and in the United States have, I believe, further strengthened the friendship and confidence which has long existed between our two governments. I am confident that working together in this same spirit we shall achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East.

His Majesty
King Hussein ibn Talal,
The Royal Palace,
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,

Dear Mr. President:

I very much appreciate the warm hospitality and cordial reception which you have so graciously accorded me during my visits to Damascus. I ask that you convey my gratitude to the members of your government and staff for their assistance in making us feel at home in your country.

I am grateful also for the opportunity to meet with you again and know that you share my view that our talks were useful.

Permit me to extend to you and your family on behalf of Mrs. Kissinger and myself best wishes for a most happy 'Id al-Fitr.

His Excellency
Hafez al-Asad,

Dear Ismail:

I want you to know how much I appreciated the
opportunity to consult again with you. I always
look forward to our meetings, not only because of
their significance but also because you are such a
special friend. I am grateful to you for having
made my visit possible and thank you for your
gracious hospitality, as well as for your thought-
ful gift of a bound Koran.

The past months have been busy ones for both
of us. We have worked hard together to keep the
negotiating process moving throughout the Middle
East and to move forward the relations between
our two countries. We have, I believe, achieved
substantial progress on both fronts.

I would appreciate it if you would pass along
a personal word of thanks to the members of the
ministry as well as to the staff at the Tahra
palace who made our stay so pleasant.

His Excellency
Ismail Fahmy,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Arab Republic of Egypt,
Cairo.

Our talks were extremely useful, and I believe they will lead to further progress in our efforts towards a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. We are entering a new and vital phase in our relations, as well as a decisive stage in the negotiating process. I want you to know again how I admire your wisdom and courage.

Your Majesty:

I wish to thank Your Majesty for your
magnificent hospitality during my most recent
visit to Saudi Arabia. I regret any incon-
venience caused you by the timing of my visit
during Ramadan. I am grateful to have had the
opportunity to consult once again with you on
ways in which our two countries can help move
forward a just and durable peace in the Middle
East.

As Your Majesty knows, I have the highest
regard for your wisdom and counsel in this
matter which is so critically important to both
our countries. I am confident that our talks
have further strengthened the bonds between our
two peoples and have advanced the prospects of
a negotiated settlement in this region.

Dear Omar:

I want you to know how much I appreciated the arrangements which you and your Ministry made for my latest visit to Saudi Arabia. I am grateful for your gracious hospitality and regret any inconvenience caused by the timing of my visit during Ramadan.

I found that our talks in Riyadh were extremely successful. They have further encouraged me in my conviction that we are moving firmly toward a just and lasting peace.

Your Majesty:

Please accept my sincere thanks for the
magnificent hospitality you accorded me during
my last visit to Rabat. You were especially
gracious to interrupt your Ramadan activities
in order to receive me. For this I am deeply
grateful.

I especially appreciated the opportunity
to consult with you on matters which are
vitally critical to our two countries. I
found our exchange of views extremely useful
and productive. I am pleased to note once again
that substantial accord on fundamental prin-
ciples underlies our efforts toward a just and
lasting peace in the Middle East.

President Ford joins me in looking forward
to continued close cooperation and consultation
with Your Majesty.

Warm regards,

His Majesty
Hassan II,
King of Morocco,
Rabat.
