    "ocrText": "Telecon\nAmbassador Yost\n12/12/69 11:20 a. m.\nY said our man is coming down to deliver the statement; I told your secre-\ntary and she is having him picked up and cleared SO he'll deliver it straight\nto you. It hasn't gotten there yet? K said no. Y said he enclosed a letter\nsaying he's putting in a copy of his notes. Y said he understood K asked\nfor them. Y said they're very rough; I ad-libbed from them. The other,\nY said, is a proposed statement we had talked about. Y said in the mean-\ntime Roger's statement appeared. K said do you think that fills the bill?\nY said our people still fell a supplementary statement from the P is needed.\nY said it would be an advisable step to take. Y said in his letter he says he\nattempted to the statement to put down what K suggested in the meeting\ndraft\nrather than desfine a new statement in light ofRogers' statement. K said\njust for your information, after our discussion in the morning we talked\nwith Rogers and asked him ao go a little further, be a little less careful.\nY said it did some good; the editorials were very favorable. Y said he is\ntrying to get from the oil people--who have an intelligence set-up of their\nown some reactions in that part of the world. Y said he would pass\nthem on to K or to Rogers. K said pass them on to me. Y said okay. K\nsaid pass them on to Rogers too if you want, but give them to me because\nthe President is interested.. Y said okay, the messenger took the 10:30\nplane down; arrangements were made to get him streigth to you. Y said\nhe prepared a draft and sent it around -everybody had comments. Y\nsaid he did get something together, then Bob Anderson sent in a new draft.\nY said he sent K Anderson's, for what it's worth. Y said this is material\nout of which you can probably compose something of your own. Y said it's\nimportant not to cut away at the base of Rogers' statement.\nYost said I am going to see you on the 16th. K said correct. Y said I am\nto mention reading over the exchanges on Helsinki. Y said he will send\na letter giving K ideas of what he would say and what the P nxgi might say.\nY said that will be over today too.\nY said he thought Roger's statement was damn good. Y said the people in\nthe American Jewish community have spoken on the importance of getting\nahead if we can with a solution. They speak cautiously about a statement.\nW K said we will talk to Eban. Y said he is going to talk to the Council.\nY said he will go and see what he has to say. Y said he has been working\namong Jewish elements to build up a counter to Rogers' statement which\nI understand he's against.\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."
