TELECON
General Haig/Secretary Kissinger
January 4, 1973
3:35 pm
K: How are you ? I wanted to check one thing to get your personal
judgement. I have had a very good talk with Dayan. They have
basically bought our concept. It is a tremendous advance. Really
incredible. But there are enough wrinkles in it for them SO it
is hard to handle through diplomatic channels. If I talk to Sadat I could
get the accomplished. But I know what our leader would think
if I was to go out there. I would just go to Cairo and Tel Aviv.
H: Yeah.
K: I can have our Ambassadors present it to him but the explanations
would have to be SO complex.
H: What are you telling me?
K: If I do it I should do it next week. some time if you are that
eager to get it settled.
H: Sure. Would you go to Cairo?
K: If we present this in Geneva and let the Russians hack at it we
may get a stalemate.
H: Is Dayan speaking for her ?
K: yes. This thing is now for the first time within manageable
range but still not acceptable to the Egyptians. The Egyptians want
them to withdraw to the Mitla Pass. the Egyptians watn two kilometers
at the SuezeCanal. They are willing to give them two battalions. They
have given up the idea of tanks east of the Canal. if they are willing
to have
but if every concession becomes the result of a cable. . do you
see what I mean?
H: understand.
K: I don't want to present it to him because he will go into orbit.
