    "ocrText": "Mr. Kissinger/Joe Sisco\nBrought in 3/15/71\n- 2 -\nK:\nWell, or why they couldn't say, give them two months and after that,\nwe'll hit them with you, or anything?\nS:\nOr something. We'll see what happens.\nK:\nBecause, actually, tactically it's stupid of them. They would have\nhad the Israelis completely in the wrong if they had gone along with the communique.\nS:\nYeah; well, we'll see. If they stick with the de facto ceasefire, they'll\nstill be in reasonably good shape, but not as good shape as they would have been\nwith a good-sized formal extension.\nK:\nYeah.\nS:\nAll right, Henry.\nK:\nJoe, you and the Secretary got us seven months of a ceasefire and the\nbasis for a longer one.\nS:\nYeah. Boy, I'd like to have another seven, wouldn't you?\nK:\nSure, but I don't think they are going to start shooting right away.\nS:\nNo, I don't either.\nK:\nAnd I think we'll all have to look at it, stick together\nS:\nI love that Israeli report that came in today where the IDF people were\nsaying,\n'you know, after seven months, we can't keep these pilots interested.\nK:\nOh, really.\nS:\nThis is the Isreelis.\nK:\nI didn't see it.\nS:\nIsn't that wonderful?\nK:\nOh, Jesus. Nothing like a little war to keep things active.\nS:\nThat's right. All right, Henry, I'll be in touch with you in the morning.\nLet's hope that this doesn't happen, but we have a statement ready that I think\nthe Secretary would issue which deplore the killings in very strong language in\ncase it occurs. And I've just sent out a telegram suggesting that the Turks\nput out on the radio right away\nThey know the kidnappers, and we've just\nsuggested that they reveal publicly the names of the kidnappers and to announce"
