6:28 PM
K: Mr. President.
N: Hello, Henry.
K: We finally got the official text. What happened is basically it is lifted
unconditionally by the majority. With the previsal that they would discuss
it again on June 1. Which doesn't mean it goes back on June 1, it just means
they will discuss it again on June 1.
N: Right.
K: The Algerians may say they agree to lift it only until June 1, SO they make
it conditional.
N: We don't care, we don't get any from them anyway.
K: That's right. I got a message from Sadat and he said he will help me
get the thing concluded by the end of April, which is also my plan. The
Syrian disengagement, so then there won't be any problem, anyway.
N: Well, of course, there must follow not only the disengagement, as you
know , but
K: Mr. President, with all respect, we don't have to linger to any permanent
settlement at this point. The major thing we need now is the disengagement.
If we talk too much about permanent settlement, when I was there the last time
I talked to Sadat, he isn't ready to discuss that. That will get us back into
Geneva. We should be very careful in making promises on that.
N: This is one thing we're going to do though, Henry. That's understand
that. There is going to be a permanent settlement.
K: Of course, Mr. President. If we get into a forum where all of these
issues get discussed together, we'll get killed.
N: I agree, but we don't want to leave any illusions here with our friends
here that this is it, you know, and the Israelis think that they can just dig in
and this is it.
K: No, no
N: Because then this same thing will come up to haunt us next Fall.
K: No, the strategy that I see now, but which we shouldn't announce publicly,
is that after the Syrian disengagement we should get a settlement between
