I hope this will be a constant reminder to us of the charter of the United Nations and all its provisions. REPORTER: Sir, when will you be back? ZAYYAT: I will be back whenever Ambassador Jarring calls me. I have given him my home number. I have told him I am at his disposal 24 hours a day, seven days a week. REPORTER: We asked you as you went in, were you optimistic. After your first meeting how do you feel? ZAYYAT: I am always optimistic. REPORTER: Mr Ambassador, did you cover any new ground today? ZAYYAT: We certainly did (remainder indistinct)...with Ambassador Jarring as confidential. SEQ. 7: REPORTER: Mr Ambassador, would you describe your first meeting with Ambassador Jarring at the start of these peace talks.. TEKOAH: Well this was the opening meeting of discussions under Ambassador jarring's auspices. The objective of these discussions is the establishment of a just and lasting peace between Israel, Egypt and Jordan. Israel is ready to cooperate with Ambassador Jarring in the speedy attainment of peace with its Arab neighbours, for a turning of a new leaf in its relations with the Arab states, for the final definitive end to the conflict which has swayed the Middle East for 22 years. The achievement of such peace agreements after such a lengthy, sanguinary conflict would require the solution of many difficult problems. We believe however that if the Arab governments would prove desirous to establish a genuine peace with us, the objective of these discussions could be attained.
