Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or book manuscript by Ehud Barak (indicated by the header), contained within a House Oversight file.

Barak presses Clinton for a new summit despite Clinton's skepticism and the previous diplomatic failure with Syrian President Assad in Geneva.
