TELECON
Joe Sisco/Mr. Kissinger
7:15 p. m., September 22, 1970
S:
We have just gotten the Israelis response.
K:
They sent a copy here too.
S:
They are faster than I thought.
K:
I haven't seen it yet, just trying to save you reading it to me.
S:
May I read it to you anyway and let you hear my sultry voice?
K:
Could I call you back in 10 minutes, I've got some people here
who I'm trying to get started on a paper.
S:
I am trying to do the same thing myself.
K:
All right, go ahead.
S:
What the paper says in two sentences is that they would intend
to act by air but if the situation requires, also on the ground. If
the air action doesn't lead to Syrian withdrawal, air and ground
would be against Syrian forces on the ground. Meeting with the
King
K:
with the Jordanians
S:
to coordinate as soon as possible. With regard to the containment
of Soviet intervention in question three, we want you to confirm to
us our interpretation to our position with reference to our answer
understand intervention to mean Soviet actions and measures against
them including the Suez Canal front and the sea. Moreover, would
not be restricted to time of operations undertaken with reference
to the Jordan-Syrian situation, bearing in mind the possibility that
Soviet reaction may be a delayed reaction.
K:
Forceful enough.
S:
Some relevance to the timeframe. Goes on to say, with regard to
equipment, the operation may lead to resumption of hostilities in
the Suez Canal in addition to the Syrian and Jordanian fronts. We
shall therefore want to approach you on a number of concrete items
