TELCON
Secretary Kissinger/Sec. Schlesinger
8:27 a. m. 10/10/73
S:
the Soviet resupply operations
K:
Yeh
S:
That's gone overt now, and in particular the movement of the Saudi
forces up to Syria--
K:
Are they moving?
S:
Yeh you remember the original brigade which the Jordanians would not
permit to move--
K:
Yeh
S:
They have now requested rights to move other brigades from Saudi proper
through Jordan and Jordan can't really resist it.
K:
Yeh
S:
So I think that we are going to get into a position in which all of our interests
in Saudi Arabia are at risk and it might be desirable to examine the funda-
mentals of our position--
K:
Well what are the fundamentals of our position, as you see it?
S:
Well, the fundamentals are that we may be faced with the choice that
Xixxexx lies cruelly between support of Israel, loss of Saudi Arabia
and if interests in the Middle East are at risk, the choice of between
occupation or watching them go down the drain
K:
Occupation of whom?
( )
S:
That would remain to be seen-it can be partial
K:
But which country are we occupying?
S:
That's one of the things we'd like to talk about.
K:
Who1s we?
S:
Me.
K:
Okay, I have heard an urgent message which I've got to take up withthe
President and I11 be back to you later this morning and we'll get together
this morning.
S:
Okay.
