    "ocrText": "TELECON\nGolda Meir\nMr. Kissinger\n5:20 p. m. , September 27, 1969\nK said he was sorry he would not be able to see her again, but that\nThursday evening had been the private conversation that had been\nplanned.\nM said she was much disturbed and wanted to speak w/K about it.\nShe referred to the Star article of 9/26, and said her Israeli newspaper\npeople tell her that there is news and rumors that actually there was\npressure on her to change her attitude and that of the Israeli government\nto the discussion of the \"2 and 4. ' K said he could assure her that\nnothing like this came from the White House. M said she was assured\nthat it had not come from our President or K; that K did not have to\nassure her of this. She said the newspaper people say their source\nis \"high officials; some say State; some say the White House. She\nwould most grateful to K if he would do something about it. If it had\nonly been one newspaper, she wouldn't worry. The Israeli newspaper-\nman tried to press her on whether there had been pressure applied on\nher.. She had denied any pressure. But she said what worried her\nwas this formula hardware which was mentioned by the newspaper-\nman.. K said he now had an idea where it came from, and asked her\nif she were sure this precise phrase had been used. M said exactly.\nK said he thought this was an outrage. It is true the formula was\nused but in the strictest confidence - - only two people knew about it.\nM said she wouldn't accept this formula if it meant a deal whereby\nthey get arms if they give up their stance on the 2 and 4. She said\nshe hadn't been so disturbed in a long, long time she doesn't know\nwhat she is going home with.\nK said we would never do anything like this -- the President or he.\nWe told her our view and she told us hers. There was no intention of\nembarrassing her or putting her into a difficult position by using\ncheap newspaper stories to pressure her. He said if the formula\nwas used, it helps identify where it must have come from, and he\nregrets it very much.\nM asked if she were right in saying there has been no condition put on\nthe question of the President's consideration of their request for planes.\nK said there has been no condition put on it. The President had asked\nfor consideration of his particular problems, but that was the\nreason for the meeting. The two were not made conditional. M\nsaid\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
