    "ocrText": "Joseph Sisco/Mr. Kissinger\n(not verbatim)\nFebruary 27, 1971 5:05 p.m.\njlj\nS: Henry. I just wanted to tell you I sent over with Hal a cable and I sent it\nto the Secretary with a chit that I thought it should be cleared with the White\nHouse.\nK: If I understand the meeting this morning I thought everything should be\ncleared over here. To whom does it go and what does it say?\nS: You have not seen the cable?\nK: No.\nS: It is just a cable - what I am trying to avoid is what could happen on\nMonday. The Israelis go back to Jarring on Monday -\nK: They will not change their position.\nS: Just hear me out a minute Henry.\nJarring in order to control the\ndamage and keep everything cool. In this cable I have laid down a little\nscenario and I think we should go to both Tel Aviv and Cairo and get their\nviews over the weekend.\nK: I can give you what Cairo will say. I could write the response. Look,\nI have no overwhelming desire to get stuck XXXX with it. What do you think was\ndecided?\nS: I do not think that anything was decided at the meeting today. Just that\nklaatx there was a general consensus that we have to do something either in\nEour\nthe Council or floor that buys time.\nK: If they say \"A\" are we going to drive them from issue to issue? The\nPresident ought to get an answer on this.\nS: Don't you think we covered that in this meeting? We are just going to\nbuy timesex time.\nK: How?\nS: I want you to look at this cable. I think it will answer some of your questions.\nK: What I am trying to get for the President is what comes afterwards - where\nwill to we go. You know that the next tactical move may lead to next six moves.\nS: I have a paper on the overall program and where we go from here and\nthe results but I X have been working 18 hours a day Henry."
