position. Today again they are acquiescing. I would say they are on
the side of the Fedayeen on the whole. But they are almost more con-
cerned with making a record than with doing anything decisive.
P: They have wavered with the flow of events?
K: That's right.
P: What do you think accounts for this? The Israeli role on the
flank is a reason for Syrian withdrawing? Soviet influence?
K: The Israeli's obvious mobilization, or readiness measures,
and the unexpectedly strong resistance of Jordan probably account for
a lot. I would put Soviet influence last. They didn't exercise any real
influence we noticed till all these others came into plan. The Soviet
role over thekx last few weeks has not been very helpful. They've
been pouring things into the standstill zone.
P: Okay. Thank you very much.
K: Right, Phil.
P: I would love to see you one of these days.
K: I would like to see you. There's an unfortunate bias toward
the irresponsible journalists who need to be straightened out. Are
you going to be on the trip?
P: No, I would love to be, but I cannot take it away from the
White House correspondent.
K: Okay. I'11 see you when we get back.
