S: I am having sent to you now the clean copy. I have twoor three things to
mention to you about what I want to do. I have not said anything to the French,
British, or Israelis.
K: The British have been told you will be in touch with them.
S: A telegram from Moscow says that Kosygin has said they have sent a message
to the President. I think this is a Soviet ploy. Nasser has announced that he will
make a speech tomorrow. What he will say I don't know. M I want to call the
Israelis in and tell them that we have received a communication. I want to give
them the general lines orally of what we have in mind. It gives them an opportunity
if they have any doubts on the question of a cease fire.
K: We would have to convince them.
S: Of course. We would have to insist. I will call in the French and British.
I will ask the British if they have received any communication.
K: We don't know if they have received it?
S: We have a report that the French and British ambassadors have been called in,
I
in Moscow. I will say, here is what we tentatively believe will be our reply.
Timing for the reply. I think it should be unhurried. There may be some advan-
tages to getting a reply out with our position before that idiot in Cairo makes
his speech tomorrow.
K: We can't change his speech.
S:
mind on that.
K: You couldn't get an answer before tomorrow noon.
S: I am not going to ask them for an answer.
K: Don't you ask for comments?
S: Sure. We will have a reaction tomorrow morning. Therefore, we can't reply
before COB tomorrow.
K: I don't
S: The press report is that the Soviet ambassadors are seeing Wilson and
Pompidou. Has Dobrynin asked to see the President?
K: We will say no.
