I am more optimistic about the\npeace offensive - if it works\nP: About this visit tomorrow. We have to handle it with resolve. Don't\nwant Meir going out and saying that we will go into Jordan. I made it\nclear\nin\nmy\nbackgrounder. MXX It would be fatal to the King if the\nIsraelis came in andalmost\n[Paraphrased the President said it\nwouldn't be very good if PM Meir walked out thx of the meeting and said\nthat they we: re going to move into Jordan. ] Jordan has to be strengthened\nto scare off Iraquies and Syrians.\nK: It gave us an opportunity\nI talked to Rabin for 2 minutes today\nand told him [to XXXIXiX keep it cool. ]\nP: Who is setting in tomorrow.\nK:\nSisco, Haig, Eban. I think it would be good if after the meeting you\nwould let the others go and xtax spend 20 minutes with Meir.
