Egyptians will just\nmove the tanks and other stuff off the roads, give the road up\nto the Third Army and then they will be trapped\nput the road\noperation under the UN, will to get off the roads, not willing\nto get off the cross country access. May be Egypt would be willing\nto buy this. Willing to put the UN on the roads.\nN: Anyway, there's another day before you take off, Monday, right?\nK: Drafted a very positive reply to the Soviets in principle. One\nproblem, there's almost no way to do the joint mission which isn't\ngoing to lead to another explosion. I really don't see what useful\npurpose it serves. Israel let the Soviets in, the British and French\nare screaming their heads off and US-Soviet mission, I don't\nsee what good can come of it. Egyptians don't particularly want it,\nFahmi told me that. After I get back I'll send Rusk or Brownell\nto the peace talks, with a Moscow first stop. In that context\nmight be willing to have them take the trip.\nN: Sound right. Its a good compromise, sending somebody of that\nimportance. Sounds all right. Let's try that. Anything else of\nimportance.\nK: The French have come in on other matters. They now have\na very constructive approach to the European Declaration thing.\nOur screaming at them really has had some rather good impact.\nN: Henry, as I see it, let's face it, we can't start having Europeans,\nBritish taking a\nline on everything we try to do. As Dulles\nused to say maybe we have to make an agaonizing reappraisal of\nEuropean views. We are saving their oil, after all, they need it\nmore than we do.\nK: No question.\nN: OK, well good luck. Call if you need anything.\nK: Iwill call tomorrow. There's a possibility the White House\nwill be able to announce resumption of diplomatic relations within\na month. Possibly announce jointly from Cairo and the White\nHouse, and we'll upgrade our Interests Section with more senior\npersonnel for a month.\nN: All right, Henry.\nK: All right, Mr. President."
