K said if the Secy Genl could bring himself\nto say something favorable, it would be helpful - both substantively\nand would help establish the sort of relationship that never existed\nwith his predecessor. K said he would not have to endorse. Y said\nhe is always trying to be SO even-handed that he might feel he would have to\nsay something box about the 10 point program as well and that would\nnot be helpful. K agreed. K asked if Y could send in some report of\ngeneral reaction around the UN - would like to get something focused\non XIX Y's part of the diplomacy. K said Y could be sure it would get\nto President personally. K said he hoped Y could come and see him one\none of his trips. Y said they are running into rough water on the ME -\nwill be in Washington on Tues to go over with Richchardson . Y\nsaid\nwe may want to sugest some changes in tactics. Clients on both sides\nweighing XX in very heavily and have to take account of their views in\nin order to achieve realistic solution. Y said situation on ground is more\nand more alarming. K said the view here is that we are perfectly willing\nto expend credit but have to get something for it. K said if we could be\nsure it would lead somewhere, we are willing to twist arms. K said he\nwould like to give Y his thoughts on some things when he comes down but\ndoes not want to do on the phone. Y said perhaps he could come over\nTuesday afternoon - he will call.\njm\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."
