Schlesinger/Kissinger
October 27, 1973
1:00 p. m.
S. How are we doing on the 3rd Army question.
K.
We have a posture now for getting this thing on the way.
We can't land troops in the Trucial States and resupply the 3rd Army.
S. Of course not..
K. We should get these two things going. The convoy will go through
tonight and the meeting will take place.
S. Splendid.
K. The reason we don't want Major Generals running lose over there
is not to get the pot stirred up. Can we settle it now?
S. Sure, the important thing is the 3rd Army.
K. No, getting the ceasefire straightened away is the most important.
If the Israelis and Egyptians get something worked out on the 3rd Army
that is
We have no interest in the 3rd Army
S. We have some interest in the 3rd Army. It is our help arranging
the ceasefire and they were captured after that, which compromises
somewhat our position in being the peace maker in the area.
K. You can be sure I have talked at great lengths with them. We have
spent the whole night. I have been on the phone all morning with
Zayyat and Ismail and the Egyptians are extremely pleased with what
we are doing.
S. Good piece of work.
K. Do you think a convoy can travel on that road at night?
S. We will have to check. 'My own belief is yes they can handle it.
K. Give me your judgment.
S. Did you indicate to the Israelis you would cut off their air lift
if they did not acquiesce?
