I began by conveying Prime Minister Begins respects as the Prime Minister has asked me to do. and President Mubarak responded about his esteem for Prime Minister Begin. saying that the Prime Minister was a man of his word and also. as President Mubarak said. "tough." I believe he said that word "tough" in a complimentary sense. I then expressed to President Mubarak the appreciation of the United States for Egypts support of the Camp David accord and for President Mubaraks repeated statements that. as President of Egypt. he would support in all ways the principles of the Camp David accord. including when he spoke at a Senate luncheon in January 1983. and similarly at a Senate luncheon in 1982. I raised the issue with President Mubarak about returning the Egyptian Ambassador to Israel because the Egyptian Ambassador had been withdrawn shortly after the incidents in the refugee camps in midSeptember 1982. I urged President Mubarak to return the Ambassador in light of Israels agreement with Lebanon to withdraw. conditioned. of course. on the simultaneous withdrawal of Syrian and PLO troops. And without discussing the matter at great length.
