    "ocrText": "Telecon\nThe Attorney General\n2:35 p. m. 9/11/69\nMitchell said the President grabbed him after the NSC meeting. The\nPresident mentioned that he was wide open on question of the Middle\nEast. K said that was clear. Mitchell is gathering he wants to keep\nit that way. K thought he wanted to get through the Meir meeting\nfirst. Mithhell thought the President had no preconceived notions.\nHe discussed the hijacking business., and wanted Mitchell to pass\nalong an idea he (M) had given to the President. The president thought\nit would be nice to talk about this at the U. N. but in order to make it\npractical, you would probably need an international treaty on the\nsubject that would spell out what the offenses were and what the\nxxxkixx sanctions were SO these Governments have to do something\nthey are obligated to do. K thought it made since/and would make\nit easier for them to operate. The President suggested Mitchell call\nRogers but Mitchell thought K ought to do it. Mitchel felt that there\nwere many things, if someone sat down, on what the offenses and\nhowthey arise and the sanctions required on the part of the othe r\ngovernment, you could come up with an effective package in stopping\nsome or redresx wrongs. Particularly if you take the situation here\nin Syria. If the treaty required that they return all people within 12\nhours or else the would lose landing rights or return hijackers to the\ncountry XX originating , you could come up with viable package.\nK thought it was a good idea for Mitchell's reasons. It would make\nit easier for the host country not to deal with the issue on individual\nmerits.\nMitchell understood there was an exercise at Camp David following\nthe White Hous emeeting. K said the President was XM going and as\nfar as he knew just Haldeman, Harlow, Ehrlichman and himself.\nMithhell was conserned that Ron Ziegler had announced his attendance\nat the meeting and thought he shouldn't be linked with too many foreign\npolicy meetings. K said he would talk to Haldeman. K didn't know\nwhat the purpose was. Mitchell didn't care one way or the other if\nhe went.\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."
