TELCON
Ambassador Dinitz - Secretary Kissinger
October 9, 1973
7:25 p. m.
K: Mr. Ambassador. I have talked to Schlesinger. You can
now go ahead. The only other thing I would like to point out to you is
a situation now developing in which it is very hard for us to resist
a cease-fire in place proposal. Therefore in designing your strategy
you should keep that in mind.
D: Cease-fire in place, you mean back to the lines
K: Cease-fire to whatever line they are at.
Eban and I discussed.
You might be ready to accept Tuesday night.
D: Next week?
K: It depends on the tactical position. It's a hell of a position for
the United States to take.
Our tactical assessment is that
we may be in a position where we veto a resolution urging you to
go back to 167 borders.
D: Yes, but nobody takes that seriously.
K: Maybe not, but we can get a majority vote. May not be
serious but it will pass unless we veto it.
going back to the line,
also their staying where they are after weeks of fighting it will
be a hell of a thing to defend in public opinion. There is no reason to
suppose that will develop. If I were an Egyptian with some sense
of balance, I might at some point tell the Russians.
D: When I last talked to Eban he was under the notion that such a
resolution would be vetoed by you.
K: That was on Sunday. He told me he
Tuesday. Here it is
Tuesday. until Thursday or Friday. Going to be extremely tough.
at that point.
D: Naturally we will do our best.
K: I am referring to one particular comment you made.
D: About letting
K: letting the situation develop slowly.
