GEN SCHWARZKOPF (US)    Oh, you mean for the exchange?

LTG AHMAD (I):   Yes.

GEN SCHWARZKOPF (US):   Oh, no-problem  I'm only saying that if it's
necessary to have another discussion I can either meet with the
General or staffs can meet together.

tTG AHMAD (I):   I have no objection. We have a channel through the
Soviet Union government anyway, any requests from your side... any
requests for that channel we will send an officer

GEN SCflWARZKOPF (US):  Good.  We've got a lot of good work done here
today because we have talked directly to each other.   (Pause)   (To
Khalid)   We will negotiate with the Red Cross for the exchange.
(Pause)   Any other points of discussions

LTG AHMAD (I):  Have we agreed -to a location?

GEN SC~WARZKOPF (US):   Is that the location? I think we should let
the Red Cross handle it.  We agreed on that.  (Pause)  Any other
points

LTG AliMAD  (I): We have not written any points of the meeting so we
~Culd like you to give us cassettes, a copy of the tapes that you
recorded -

GEN SCHWARZKOPF (US):   I think we have two tapes   (To COt BELt/ ~NCS
COtWELL)   You have two sets going? Are you sure you didn't run out of
batteries at one point or electricity?   (To AHMAD) We think we have
two tapes.   Give us five minutes to make sure we have tapes and we
will give you an entire set of tape and we will give you a complete
copy in writing.

LTG AHMAD (I):   So from our side what is required from us is to give
an answer about the subject of sy~bolic number of prisoners of war,
and the line that was :narked on the map.  These are the two points to
be answered.  Any other?  And we promise we will be very cooperative
in this matter

GEN SCHWARZKOPF (US):   From our side we will not attack any
helicopters inside Iraq.  We will set up a meeting point at the point
where we met today

LTG AH?~AD  (I): The one we have agreed upon this is good

GEN SCHWARZ}COPF (US):   Yes   tmmediately
forces will pull back 1 km from the line
vehicles if they are flying orange flags
And as soon as a cease-fire is signed, we
forces from the territory of    rag as fast
other points?   I think that completes the

upon your agreement our
and we will fire at no
even if they are in our area
will withdraw all coalition
as we possibly can.  Any
meeting

LTG AHMAD (I):  From our side also.
