LTG KHALID (SA):   No, No one will be allo~~d :o enter Saudi land

LTG AliMAD (I):   Well, so you will-    permit it and we will not permit
it and then what,             .~:.~tr:~flOt

LTG KHALID (SA):    No, No-6ne will;!be allowed to enter Saudi land
Anyway, this needs to be discussed,.

LTG AliMAD (I):   We will stop our soldiers and yours.

GEN SC~~ARZKOPF (US):   Are there any other matters that the General
would like to discuss?

LTG AHMAD (I):   We have a point, one point   You might very well know
the situation of the roads and bridges and communications.   We would
like to agree that helicopter flights sometimes are needed to carry
some of the officials, government officials, or any members that is
needed to be transported from one place to another because the roads
and bridges are out.

GEN SCHWARZXOPF (US):   I think the same thing can apply to the
helicopter flights as to vehicles it we can just mark them on the side
with orange

LTG A}~AD (I):   This has nothing to do with the front line.  This is
inside Iraq

GEN SCHWARZ}COPF (US):   As long as it is not over the part we are in
that is absolutely no problem.    So we will let the helicopters, and
that is a very important point, and I want to make sure that's
recorded,  that military helicopters can fly over Iraq.   Not fighters,
not bombers

LTG ARMAD (I):   So you mean even the helicopters that is armed in the
Iraqi skies can fly, but not the fighters?   Because the helicopters
are the same, they transfer somebody or.  -

GEN SCMwARZKOPF (US):   Yeah   I will instruct our Air Force not to
shoot at any helicopters that are flying over the territory of Iraq
where we are not located    If they must fly over the area we are
located in I prefer that they not be gun ships, armed helos and I
would prefer that they have an orange tag on t:~e side as an extra
safety measure

LTG AMMAD (I):   Not to have any confusion these will not come to this
territory

GEN SCHWARZKOPF (US):   Good.

LTG AHMAD (I):   Now we shall give you the numbers of the POWs that we
have.  We have 41 POWs
      17 Americans
       2 Italians
      12 British
       1 Kuwaiti (Pilot)
       9 Saudis
