    "ocrText": "TELCON\nScali/Sec. Kissinger\nMonday, Oct. 8 519731\n3.5\np.m.\nK: You got the Statement. It will not shake the world. Our information\nhere is that there is a chance that no one else will speak but in any event\nif the Egyptian speaks and you feel obliged to reply be very gentle with\nthem. I don't insist that you reply but be very gentle and refer to the\nfact that the spirit of my conversation about peace is maintained. We\ndon't want a confrontation with the Egyptians. It is my understanding that\nthe Soviets are instructed to lay off us.\nS: I was at a lunch with the For. Min. of Sudan and the permanent Rept.\nMalik left early because he has in scribed himself to speak.\nK: When did he do that?\nM: About 40 mins ago when he left this lunch.\nK: To inscribe himself?\nS: Yes. My understanding from the Security Council President.\nK: You will have to judge the situation. We don't want a donnybrook\nwith the Soviets this afternoon. If he gets offensive we will have to.\nIf anything, my understanding is he will work over the Israelis. We\nwill say we have deliberately avoided putting blame in our statement\nand we regret that he has concentrated on the past in such an erroneous\nway and we urge him to concentrate on the future. O.K. ?\nS: Right. We know the Syrians and Israelis have asked to participate but\nwith no sign that they will speak today.\nK: My information from the Israelis is that if the Egyptians do not speak,\neven if the Syrians do, Eban may not speak. Eban is confining himself\nto saying simply what he said this morning.\nS: Very well. I have the text of this thing before me. I thought it\nessential for me to be there at the lunch.\nK: You had to do that.\nS: I will follow the instructions implicitely.\nK: You are doing a great job. I think tomorrow this thing will get lively.\nI think the Arabs have not yet understood what the military risks are."
