Perhaps the most important of the points would be an effort to win full four-power agreement on the implementation of the November 1967 Security Council resolution, which postulated mutual recognition of sovereignty and Israeli withdrawal from areas conquered in the Six-Day War. Israel, according to the latest U.S. suggestion, would retain Syria's Gobn Heights and Arab Jerusalem, although Jordan would have certain rights in its former sector.
