    "ocrText": "-2-\nto wait until tomorrow. My present plan is to tell the British\nAmbassador around one that they should start exploring it,\nwhich should delay it into Saturday to give us another 48 hours.\nD. When you said ceasefire, both in regard to Britian and\nRussia, is that ceasefire and standstill?\nK.\nBut you should be in a good position.\nD. My judgment is that you should be better off\nWith the\nsituation in the far north after tonight I have an inkling that\nthe Russians will not be interested in a standstill tomorrow.\nK. Well, that is their problem. I can only deal with one thing\nat a time.\nD. I wouldn't wish that on the Russians, Mr. Secretary, that\nthey should have your mind.\nK. If they now do have a new proposal I will have to think it\nover and we should have another 48 hours. I think I should get\nit going underway.\nD. I think the important thing now is to gain time. I have\nanother several things I would like to discuss.\nK. I. was told by Scowcroft only a half an hour ago that the\nplaneswill be on their way.\nD. I was told this afternoon to call the Secretary of Transportation\nwho was out. I talked to the Under Secretary who said he would\nhelp me and get back. Scowcroft said he would get back to me.\nK. I was told half an hour ago they are forthcoming. I can't\nactually handle it at this moment. Ignatious and Brinager were\nmeeting to work it out. Where are the El Al planes?\nD. They sent two yesterday and one or two flew today.\nK. I am moving heaven and earth here\nI want to tell you\nanother thing. We are sending two tomorrow, two the following\nday, and two the next day. That is better than one a day because\nit gets a pipeline going."
