80. Letter From Secretary of State Kissinger to Syrian President Asad1
I have the honor to transmit the following text of a letter from President Nixon:
Dear Mr. President:
As you begin to rebuild and repopulate Quneitra, I want you to know that the United States is prepared to consider how it might assist in the rehabilitation of that area. One important objective we share in seeking a lasting peace in the Middle East is to help people return to normal lives. It is a source of great satisfaction to me to know that the agreement on the disengagement of Syrian and Israeli forces will make it possible for some of the people displaced by war to return to their homes.
Sincerely,
(Richard Nixon)
The signed original of this letter will be forwarded to you.
Sincerely,
