A WELL-KNOWN BUSINESS BURNS.

KISSINGER CONTINUES ITS PEACE DEMANDS. Damascus. US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, having completed his third week of shuttle diplomacy, met with Syrian President Hafez Assad in an attempt to achieve the separation of Syrian and Israeli troops. The meeting was crucial for Kissinger, given that he would return to Israel that night, showing signs of some progress being made, if he wishes to succeed in reaching a troop disengagement agreement. Had there been no progress, Kissinger would most likely have been forced to fly back to Washington and later return to the Middle East in a new attempt to reach an agreement. After his meeting with Assad, he did not issue any statement. The Secretary of State left Israel with the Jerusalem government’s final concessions regarding the separation of troops. Depending on Assad’s decision, Kissinger is expected to be back in Damascus after having one more meeting with Prime Minister Golda Meir. If an agreement is reached, there is a good chance that the disengagement agreement will be signed in Geneva as Middle East peace talks resume. Syria and Israel fought again today with artillery and rockets on the Golan Heights front for the 62nd consecutive day.
