H:
What did he say?
K:
Well, it was a novel idea--he - said if it is to be done, it better be
done before you get used up.
H:
That's right.
K:
I did it in the context of what is needed to make the military responsive
to political needs.
H
Hm huh.
K:
I was you know--we were going through the list of possible assets.
H:
Yeh, yeh.
Little thin over there.
K:
That's what we concluded.
But A1 we better get an answer by noon on this.
H:
All right Henry. You are going to send the cables out.
K:
There is only the cable from Cairo.
H:
Okay, I'11
kaxxxixx
won't let him see that.
K:
No, no, why not. That just says Sadat wants me.
H:
Okay. Okay.
K:
But the Israelies have asked for me to do it. I think it is the only way

H:
That's right.
K:
And tell him we will stage it SO that the embargo ift--first of all that he
will announce the settlement, not I and that the embargo lifting will be
done by him. Anyway he can have my resignation. After last night, I
don't think there is a basis for my continuing anyway.
H:
Yeh, I don't know what the hell that's all about.
K:
What e ver it is all about--Al--it means he's been in separate communica-
tions with the foreign government in the middle of a crisis.
H:
some first-class jerk called him in the exixidate night says
in the movie
