    "ocrText": "Telcon\nNYC\nMinister Shalev/HAK\nOctober 6, 1973; 11:55 a. m.\nK:\nI have talked to the President again and to the Soviets. I want\nyou to know what we are doing. We are getting our fleet together\nin the Mediterranean and start moving it toward the Eastern\nMediterranean. This will take us about 12 hours and we will\nstart grixing moving it toward the Eastern Mediterranean. We will\nalmost certainly approve tomorrow the military equipment within\nreason that you may need, especially if the Soviets line up with\nthe Arabs, then we will certainly do it.\nS:\nYou will do it.\nK:\nIf the Soviets line up in the UN with the Arabs we will sure do it\nand if not we will probably do it, but we just want to see. But\nwe would appreciate from you as much of the true military situation\nas you feel you can give us so we can make our evaluations, and\nalso any plans you may have. We are going to propose when there is\na Security Council meeting, whether or not the Soviets agree, that\nthere should be a restoration of the ceasefire and a restoration of\nthe ceasefire lines.\nS:\nAnd you are doing that irrespective of their agreement or not.\nK:\nWe will wait a few hours to get their agreement. If not, we have\nconcerted with the British and they will call a meeting and we\nwill then propose this.\nS:\nAll right.\nK:\nDo you have any views on the subject?\nS:\nWell, I know there isn't and wasn't any decisions yet on whether to\nask for a Security Council.\nK:\nI think it is better if you don't.\nS:\nI think klxex at one stage we wanted you to wait before calling one.\nK:\nWe are waiting still.\nS:\nGood.\nK:\nWe are not going to do it until about 2 or 3 this afternoon for a\nmeeting 5 or 6 this afternoon. And all we will do is ask for a\nceasefire and me ask for a return to the ceasefire lines. The\nBritish are prepared to say they think the Arabs started this."
