Kissinger\nThursday, Oct. 11, 1973\n11:10 a. m.\nK: What is the Ambassador doing in a Synagogue on Thursday.\nS: It is the first day of\nand a bar mitzvah and for morale\nhe went for a few minutes.\nK: For my morale, it is not very good for you on the one hand to\nask me to slow down the UN and you get Dyan to say on radio and TV\nthat you are heading for Damascus. How can we get the UN to slow\ndown when you make this kind of announcement by your Defense Minister.\nS: You have a point.\nK: With the greatest difficulty I got the President to slow things\ndown and now I am confronted with that news item. What will I\ntell the Soviets now?\nS: I will get on to Israeli.\nK: Point two. The President is beside himself with what he considers\ninspired newspaper articles and I urge you to keep your people under\ncontrol in what they say to the press. If it gets back to the White House\nthat someone has talked to Israeli personnel there will be hell to pay.\nS: Do you have anything specific\nK: I have nothing but he said he has. I was going to wait and call you\nabout this after I had something else to talk to you about. If you want\nto cooperate with us diplomatically you must cooperate with us on\nthis. We cannot ask the UN to slowdown with this announcement that\nis out. I am sitting here with my associates now working on this\n36 hour delay when we get this ticker. Second, what in the hell am\nI now going to tell the Russians. This looks like the most extreme\nform of collusion and bad faith. You would have had the 8 hours for\nthe reality of this to become apparent if you had kept quiet. See what\nyou can do to quiet things down in Israel and for God's sake stay off\nthe radio and I'V. Will you let me know?\nS: I will.\nEND"
