TELCON
Amb. Dinitz - Secretary Kissinger
October 26, 1973
1:17 p. m.
D: Food and Water
K: It is my strong advice to enable us to say something, we can say we
have achieved
enable us to pay less later.
D: You recommend food and water.
K: You offered to let food and water through
could cause very
seri ous consequences with Russians.
D: I want to ask you about something that has been on my mind, not
by Government's mind. Suppose we offer to return all the people free
without equiment, wouldn't take presoners, let them have food and
water and let them return home safely if they wanted, open the road.
K: In my view the best thing to offer food and water, non-military supplies.
D: OK, I will pass that on. That also will not solve the problem, though.
Will delay confrontation.we are going to have with Egypt.
K: You will wind up in my judgment, we will end up on the wrong side of
the confrontation. It would be a whole hell of a lot better to establish
the principle of limited supply now.
D: I'm not negating this,
K: In addition, and to offer that anybody who wants leave will be permitted
to leave the Egyptians will consider that insulting.
D: We don't want to insult Egypt, but there must be a solution to the
problem, we don't want to allow them to become fighting forces again.
K: I understand, eventual solution will be to open the road to non-military
supplies.
D: Yes, I understand.
K: You will get under irresistable pressure if you keep it up.
D: Not keeping it up, we started with nonmilitary, humanitarian things,
and I think the possibilitiy
