TELCON
Mr. Kissinger/Martha Mitchell & The Attorney General
7:35 p. m., March 2, 1971
The Attorney General
AG:
Henry, I just got a call from Max Fisher. Apparently he called
Sisco or Sisco called him but I gather it was the former. Sisco
let Max Fisher know they were going to have to condemn Israel
on Thursday. The scenario I saw today.
K:
That's right.
AG:
It is within
K:
Oh, yes. After I talked to Rabin, he called Sisco and he
sent me a copy in which he said he would like to make clear the
following points (read the four points). In other words we are going
to have one hell of a blew out on Thursday.
M:
Does this change anything we said today do you think? Should I talk
to the President?
K:
If Fisher called you, you can use that as a pretext.
M:
All right.
K:
Or you can wait until the fat is in the fire.
AG:
Which do you think?
K:
I think we are locked in the condemnation.
AG:
The French and British.
K:
You could let all hell break loose.
AG:
The French and Israelis will react in the press and the Israelis will
react pretty strongly. Maybe it is better to take that initial step.
K:
Think it is too far gone.
AG:
Will get the State Department's neck out.
K:
That's my view.
