THE SECRETARY OF STATE

June 25, 1974

Your Majesty:

Mrs. Kissinger and I would like to express our appreciation for the antiquities from Jerash and the carved olive wood hands which you kindly presented to us during our May visit to Jordan. We were especially pleased with the gifts in that they represent the old and the new in your country -- an affirmation of Jordan's magnificent history and a token of the talent and creativity which are still so evident in your Kingdom.

Again, our sincere thanks. I look forward to seeing you soon in Washington.

His Majesty
Hussein I,
King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan,
Amman.

June 25, 1974

Dear Mr. President:

My wife Nancy and I hope you will excuse
the delay in conveying to you and Mrs. Sadat
our sincere appreciation for the warmth of your
reception during our stay in Egypt. Your gra-
cious gifts will be constant reminders of your
hospitality and goodwill, as well as that of
the Egyptian people whose generosity and friend-
ship have left a deep impression on both of us.

It was most thoughtful of you to commission
portraits of us, and we hope you will extend our
best wishes and appreciation to Miss Itimad al-
Trabulsy, the artist.

We are both very much looking forward to
your visit to the United States.

His Excellency
Anwar al-Sadat,
President of the Arab Republic of Egypt,
Cairo.

June 25, 1974

Your Excellency:

I want to express my personal gratitude to you for your thoughtfulness in giving me the handsome Arab robe. Syrian hospitality is well-known, and I feel privileged to have been the recipient of so much of it.

The robe is a fine and fitting memento of the exciting and very rewarding days I spent in your capital this spring. I feel confident that the work we did then has made an important contribution toward the goal of a just and lasting peace. I want to take this opportunity to assure you that we intend to build on the foundation which I believe we established until an enduring peace is assured.

His Excellency,

General Mustafa Tlas,
Minister of Defense,
Syrian Arab Republic,
Damascus.
