    "ocrText": "TELCON\nGeneral Wheeler\nMr. Kissinger\n2/1/69 5 00 p\nHAK: The President would like at the NSC meeting on Tuesday to include\nthe operational briefing on the Middle East. Gen Wheeler said that is\neasily done.\nHAK : He hasn't made a decision whether to meet again on Wednesday, but\nhe does want to include that operational briefing. I don't suppose you can\nget up by Tuesday anything on questions he keeps asking on Soviet intervention?\nWheeler: It would be a pretty rough effort -- probably no better than what\nI said today.\nHAK: They can just make a few observations about the kind of considerations\nthat would enter into it, without being specific.\nYou will be delighted to hear what is on his mind--which you told\nus 4 times cannot be done. He' '11 take \"no\" if you say it once more.\nWheeler: I'll take another look -- he has listened to me -- Andy Goodpaster --\nand Gen Abrams has come back negative.\nHAK: It's on his mind. This first thing--we might be able to do before we\ntravel, but if it can't be it can't be.\nWheeler: We'll take another look, but I must say it's a dry hole.\nHAK: I told him you made a persuasive case to me. Isn't there something--\nsome offensive, or something -- I just feel bound to raise it with you.\nWheeler: OK\nHAK: You're better off having someone whose mind is in that direction,\nrather than the other\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
