    "ocrText": "-2-\nD: But I just, first, I want to be sure, Mr. Kissinger, that you know what\nwe are going to vote for and that is the text now available to Peter and\nif you\nK:\nI'll take a look at it.\nD: And especially if you look at the end of paragraph 4. I mean the last\nparagraph which definitely infers sanctions and if I'm not mistaken at\none point you even told me, or told\nthat the President has\nnever O. k. 'd to go to sanctions without his previous approval. So, I\nmean they're telling us\nK:\nThey're not committed to sanctions, only to consider them.\nD: Yes, but you understand the difference is not material difference here.\nIf you say, \"solemnly warns Israel\"\nrepeated to the Council\nwe consider taking adequate steps and measures to enforce the thing,\nthat is threatening sanction. When we argued there was never a\nsolution that called for sanctions right away but always to consider\nsanctions. Never anything like thishas passed. In any event, not with\nthe U.S. approval. So maybe I could suggest that you vote for the\nresolution, but on that paragraph 4\nyou abstain then you\nat least by supporting some of the unjustified resolutions. But you\ndon't take on\n/\nK: Can one vote paragraph by paragraph?\nD: One can demand this. Yes, one can demand this, voting in paragraphs.\nFor instance, maybe this itself is put to a vote and if the Council will\nnot, as I am sure the Arabs would want,\nthen you can abstain\nand explain that you would have voted for the condemnation but not for\nsanctions. I mean that would be one way out.\nK: Well, why don't you make a very strong case of this to Sisco.\nD:\nI did to Atherton now, a very strong case. And I can't get to Sisco until\n12:30. I have a meeting with him\ntells me now the resolution\ncan be voted any minute now.\nK:\nI'11 call Sisco.\nD: Yes, thank you very much.\nK: Good, thank you."
