    "ocrText": "TELECON\nRon Ziegler\nMr. Kissinger\n7/14, 10:20 p. m.\nK said take the following down. Keep cool. You have not been through a\ncrisis like this as I have. We have a war of our own now. Handle it well.\nWe have been on top of the situation. We sent messages on July 8 to the\nPresidents of Honduras and El Salvador urging them to go along with the\nmediation effort and urging a peaceful solution. Tonight, the OAS, under\nthe Rio Treaty, met and created an investigative committee and we have\noffered them an aircraft to take them down. Z asked if he could say that.\nK said yes. K said the President has been fully aware of the situation.\nZ said he would say the President has been briefed on the matter by\nKissinger and that he is following it. K said all we have to make sure is\nthat the telegram was sent to Honduras and not British Honduras (laughter).\nZ asked about mediation efforts. K said mediation efforts collapsed. K\nsaid the Rio Treaty calls for consultation and hemispheric solidarity. Z\nagain asked if he could say all of this. K said yes. Z asked what he could\ntell them about U. S. action that has been taken. K said you can say what\nI have told you; beyond that point say that we will support the OAS. If\nthis thing keeps goind we will probably try to line up the larger states,\nMexico, Colombia, Brazil and make a joint appeal.\nK said the President wanted to know whether Z thought we should put out\na statement. Z said no, we shouldn't put out a statement -- we should just\nrespond. K said respond that we have been on top of this, support the\nOAS and the President sent telegrams to the Presidents of Honduras and\nEl Salvador last week.\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."
