K. Hello, Mr. Foreign "Minister.
F. I am sorry to bother you again but I just got two cables here
from my President, one discouraging and one hopeful. The first
one informs me that today Israeli planes invaded our air space
west of Cairo and then they fired on one of our rockets. They
fired at that position with a direct rocket, one of your latests.
They say it was one of the televised rockets.
K. O'k, I will have to look into that.
F. From a distance of 25 to 10K and then they had a direct hit.
This is very serious. The second promising thing is that you
remember when you talked about this Monday. I advised the
President that we had to do something quiet about it. He responded
that only for a week we together get along with things, you know,
without infliction on the Egyptian President. On that particular
point he is telling me that oil tankers with Liberian flag we let
it go through at
without any interception from our part.
This encourages both of us to try to achieve something substantial
before I go back.
K. I appreciate that very much.
F. Now we have two indications, one very disturbing about flying
and hitting about the ceasefire, and then there is this second
promising one. I leave it up to you. If you can do anything to
finalize what we agreed on before I go back to Cairo--
K. I think it will be next to impossible but will give me added
incentive.
F. Will you let President Nixon know of these.
K. I will call him immediately in Key Biscayne.
