K:
Hello.
D:
Hello, Henry.
K:
Anatol, the madmen in the Middle East seem to be at it again.
We got a message this time on the East Bank. The West Bank is
quiet now. We just had a message the Israelis claim they're being
attacked. The Egyptians don't say who's doing the attacking. I
want you to know what we have done. We've sent***** first a
message to the Israelis telling them it had to stop and we had their
assurance that they're staying in defensive positions. We sent a
message to the Egyptians of which I'll send you a copy, telling
them that we will totally oppose any further military xxx offensive
military actions by the Israelis and recommending that they, too,
stop offensive actions. And that is our impressions which we have
no independent proof, that this time the Egyptians may have started
it but we are not sure. We have no real basis for judgment. I just
want you to know what we are doing. And I'm sending you the
message we sent to the Egyptians but we have made a very violent
representation to the Israelis.
D:
Alright.
K:
But one thing that Moscow is to understand we are not playing any
games here. We made an agreement and it's now going to be
enforced.
D:
This is the point.
K:
Well, you have our assurance.
D:
I will send a telegram to Moscow.
K:
I'll send you the message to send out immediately.
D:
O.K. Thank you very much. Bye. Bye.
K:
Bye.
