forces in Chile do not seem to be coalescing around any
effective action to block his election. We understand from
your previous messages that military are entirely aware that
if Allende is elected they can expect no further MAP or other
support from us. If there is any doubt whatever in their
mind in this regard, you should use the channels available
to you to make this clear. You have also, in accordance
with your recommendation, been authorized to inform them that
we are already "holding in abeyance" all MAP, including
military training and visits not already underway. You
have also been informed that we are suspending action on
all requests for processing munitions-control-export licenses
for Chilean military. You have also previously been authorized
to inform the military that if the effort to block Allende
from taking office is successful, the Chilean military
will not be ostracized, but rather can continue to count
on us for MAP support and maintenance of our close relationship.
As you know, we have also done our best to encourage American

Chile the economic and financial consequences that will in-

2. In addition to the foregoing, you are now authorized
to inform discreetly the Chilean military through the channels
available to you that if a successful effort is made to block
Allende from taking office, we would reconsider the cuts we
have thus far been forced to make in Chilean MAP and otherwise
increase our presently programmed MAP for the Chilean armed
forces. In addition to materield chargeable to MAP, we also
have in mind increased ship loans. If any steps the military
should take should result in civil disorder, we would also be
prepared promptly to deliver support and materiel that might be
immediately required. Obviously we cannot, and we assume
Chilean forces would not want, support of American personnel
in such a contingency.
3. Although we realize from your report that the odds are
very long against the Chilean military taking any effective
action, we do not want them to be deterred by what they may
feel is any ambiguity with respect to our attitude toward the
election of Allende. We therefore, leave it to you and your
discretion on how in light of above guidance this can best and
most promptly be communicated to the military.

Senator Javits
10/13/70 3:40 p.m.
J: I called because the news has come through this morning that the
President has opted for the one percent target in the development business
at the UN.
K: Onee in a while youk have got to lose an argument just to prove
you don't win them all. But it's essentially your recommendation.
J: That's right. Here is the question: How are they to handle
this? I thought I would ask you and then go to Rogers. Rogers apparently
passed word to the delegation that he thinks the President ought to say
this on the 23rd. They thought they were immediately authorized to use
this in private and have already done so. If nothing is said about this
before the 23rd, they may be attacked for not doing it when we are going
to. But then, if that's all the President's speech has, it would be a
lead balloon.
K: No, that's not all it's got.
J: It can come out as the President's statement. He can release it.
Then all we do is
K: May I check with the President and let you know tomorrow?
J: Yes, please do. There's another question, a totally new line-up
on China. I had lunch with the Chinese Ambassa dor and Minister of
External Affairs and we discussed this subject. They are still of course
solidly against anything. The question is whether the U.S. may want to
begin to open the door
This is very important, especially with the
Russians cheating the hell out of us. I am in charge of this, but don't
want to say anything if it's not the President's policy.
K: What do you recommend?
J: I think we should do as the President has done -- begin to open
the door a little, give a feeling that a posture is developing. The real
implication of this is that the Chinese are beginning to show that they
want in. Our case has been that they don't want in. I think we should
begin to say this is a developing situation, which may bring on changes.
K: Let me talk to the President about that one too.
J: Okay, but there's more urgency about the former.
K: I'll get you an answer on the former by tomorrow noon.

for Pres.
CAMBRIDGE.
September 25, 1970
Dr. Henry Kissinger
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Henry:
It is not altogether easy to judge the affair in the Middle
East during the last week from here. But one can tell enough to
know that the Administration has behaved with great, I would almost
say inspired, calmness and restraint. And as one who is familiar
with the folkways and rat-warrens of Washington I know how much
advice you must have had to the contrary. There are many people
who must prove their bravery on occasions such as this -- whatever
the cost. And there are many others who must prove their willingness
to act. And there are yet others for whom life is so dull that any
crisis must be seized upon and made worse for its generally exciting
effect.
There was, I am persuaded, no conceivable gain (for the
United States, for Israel, for the Arabs themselves, or for the
hostages) in our intervening with military force in an intra-Arab
row. Everything would have been worse and there would have been
more blood on the desert.
I somehow doubt that the President expects thanks from me
but if you don't think the effect will be too disastrous, do give
them on my behalf.
Yours faithfully

STATEMENT BY RIGHT HONORABLE
JOHN GORTON
The Australian Government holds strongly to the belief
that a just and permanent settlement can only be finally achieved
around the conference table.
For this reason we warmly welcome these initiatives
taken by President Nixon to bring peace and tranquility to the
states of South Viet-Nam, Laos, Cambodia, and their neighbours.
I emphasise that our view about a negotiated settlement
has been based on two fundamental democratic principles: The right
of the people of these war-torn states to determine their own future
and as a corollary that we will not be a party to imposing on other
nations a form of government which the people do not want.
We understand the President's proposals envisage that the
people of South Viet-Nam should freely vote for their own government
and that candidates of any party should be free to stand at such
elections.
We also understand that the people of South Viet-Nam will
by their own vote decide whether or not they will eventually join
with any other state.
Success or failure of President Nixon's new initiative will
depend on the agreement by the Communists to accept the basic principles
put forward and on their willingness to abide by them.
Particularly we welcome the proposal for the return of all
prisoners of war, journalists and other civilians, without exception
and without condition to the place of their choice.

action, we do not want them to be deterred by what they may
feel is any ambiguity with respect to our attitude toward the
election of Allende. We therefore, leave it to you and your
discretion on how in light of above guidance this can best and
most promptly be communicated to the military.

STATEMENT BY RIGHT HONORABLE
JOHN GORTON
The Australian Government holds strongly to the belief
that a just and permanent settlement can only be finally achieved
around the conference table.
For this reason we warmly welcome these initiatives
taken by President Nixon to bring peace and tranquility to the
states of South Viet-Nam, Laos, Cambodia, and their neighbours.
I emphasise that our view about a negotiated settlement
has been based on two fundamental democratic principles: The right
of the people of these war-torn states to determine their own future
and as a corollary that we will not be a party to imposing on other
nations a form of government which the people do not want.
We understand the President's proposals envisage that the
people of South Viet-Nam should freely vote for their own government
and that candidates of any party should be free to stand at such
elections.
We also understand that the people of South Viet-Nam will
by their own vote decide whether or not they will eventually join
with any other state.
Success or failure of President Nixon's new initiative will
depend on the agreement by the Communists to accept the basic principles
put forward and on their willingness to abide by them.
Particularly we welcome the proposal for the return of all
prisoners of war, journalists and other civilians, without exception
and without condition to the place of their choice.

WASHINGTON
FOR ACTION
SECRET/NODIS
September 25, 1970
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Henry A. Kissinger
SUBJECT: Points to be made to Israeli Ambassador Rabin
Events have overtaken the need for a precise response to the Israeli
Note Verbale which was received on September 22 and which was related
to the possible provision of Israeli air attacks on Syrian forces in
Jordan. As you know, on the afternoon of September 23 Ambassador
Rabin suggested that the matter of Israeli military action in Jordan be
held in abeyance in view of the withdrawal of Syrian regular forces
from Jordan. In order to clear the record with respect to this and
prior exchanges with the Israelis, State has proposed that Assistant
Secretary Sisco deliver orally to Ambassador Rabin the message at
Tab A. I do not believe that paragraph 4 of the proposed State text is
acceptable for the following reasons:
(1) It would raise serious questions in the minds of the Israelis
as to our fundamental willingness to defend Israel against Soviet attack.
(2) It is an especially abrasive and unnecessary affront to the
Government of Israel in the light of the cooperative attitude they
maintained throughout the recent crisis.
(3) Most importantly it could seriously hamper future cooperation
with Israel at a time when the situation in Jordan remains tense and
before we can be absolutely certain that it may not be necessary to call
upon Israel again to take military action in Jordan.
I am informed that paragraph 4 was written personally by the Secretary
of State because he believes that paragraph 3 of our earlier Note Verbale
of September 21 to the Government of Israel constituted an open-ended
commitment to protect Israel against Soviet attack (Tab B). I do not
agree with this interpretation.

RECOMMENDATION:
That you authorize a new and terser response to Israel which will
clearly clean the slate with respect to commitments made this week
but which will avoid an unnecessary irritant and would not jeopardize
future cooperative action if required.
An alternate text for your approval is at Tab C.
Approve alternate text.
Retain proposed State language.

DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.
SECRET/NODIS
The following points would be made orally to Ambassador Rabin today:
1. According to the latest available information, the forces which
invaded Jordan have withdrawn to Syria. It is our understanding that
Israel agrees with us that there is no need for any Israeli military action
against the Syrian forces in Jordan either by air or on the ground.
2. We appreciate the prompt and positive Israeli response to
our approach. We believe that the steps Israel took have contributed
measurably to the withdrawal of Syrian forces. The United States
appreciates this further positive demonstration of Israel's willingness'
to work towards common aims. We believe, as we are confident Israel
does, that it will serve our mutual interest if King Hussein can himself
establish law and order throughout the country.
3. We bélieve the situation should be kept under continuing
review.
4. We consider that all aspects of our exchanges with Israel
with regard to the Syrian invasion of Jordan, including those relating
to the problem of possible Soviet military intervention, applied only
to the situation which arose from the Syrian invasion and therefore no
longer apply.
5. Finally, Israel's helpful and responsive approach in our
exchanges, as well as the continuing threat on this and other fronts,
will be taken fully into account as we give prompt and sympathetic
consideration to additional Israeli requests for military assistance.

QUESTION #3:
How will the U.S. act to prevent Soviet participation or
involvement?
ANSWER:
On September 20 the U.S. Government called upon the Soviet
Government to take appropriate steps in Damascus to bring about
withdrawal of Syrian forces from Jordan. Secretary Rogers made a
public statement to this effect on September 20. We have and will
continue to make clear to the Soviets our support for Israel's security
and integrity and its right to live within defensible borders. In the
present crisis, the U.S. has augmented the Sixth Fleet; it has also
taken other readiness measures. These clearly imply a decision not
to permit Soviet intervention against Israel in the conditions under
discussion. As for specific measures the U.S. may take to prevent
Soviet intervention, these would depend on the circumstances and the
situation that exists at the time. We have contingency plans for these
eventualities.

According to the latest available information, the forces which
invaded Jordan have withdrawn to Syria. We believe that the steps Israel
took have contributed measurably to that withdrawal.
We appreciate the prompt and positive Israeli response to our
approach. Because circumstances will be different if there is another
attack, we consider that all aspects of the exchanges between us with
regard to this Syrian invasion of Jordan are no longer applicable, and we
understand that Israel agrees. If a new situation arises, there will have
to be a fresh exchange.

TO PRESIDENT NIXON FROM KING HUSSEIN
Sir:
May I express my deepest appreciation for your friendship and
sympathy and general concern over the problems and difficulties which
my country faces. Our only consolation lies in any determination to
make of these tragic efforts a turning point that will enable us to rebuild
Jordan on a dynamic solid basis. We are and have been fully aware of
our responsibilities not only to defend with our lives our sovereignty,
territorial integrity and independence and also our responsibilities in
the area, and towards its future as well as the cause of justice and peace,
here and in the world.
We appreciate above all your help and support during the very crucial,
anxious moments when the odds appeared to grow too numerous against us.
We felt in our struggle of life and death that we were not alone. We continue
to need help and support to rebuild and face the multitude of human demands
and requirements, and to replenish our losses on the military level. Believe
me, Sir, I have a strong conviction that this country, its people, and its
armed forces will continue to be a very hard nut to crack. This may have
begun to dawn on many around us and the world.
God bless you. With all my respect. Best wishes and regards.
