    "ocrText": "TELECON\nAmbassador Dinitz/Secretary Kissinger\nMarch 30, 1974\n12:45 PM\nK: Hello?\nD: Dr. Kissinger.\nK: Mr. Ambassador. Look I'm writing a letter to the Prime Minister of some of\nmy thoughts which I thought I'll have Sisco give to you on Tuesday, SO that it gets\nthere about the time Dayan does. What do you think?\nD: Dayan told me about this and I think it cannot hurt. In fact, I think it's a good\nidea.\nK: I'm not pressing her. She doesn't have to do anything for a few weeks.\nD: Right. No, I understand. I think its - and I relied that you put it in such a\nmanner that in which it explains the motivation, though it does not.\nK: Why don't I tell Sisco to go over it with you and you edit it.\nD: That would be highly irregular, Mr. Secretary. Especially to do it with Sisco.\nBut I'm willing - maybe Eagleburger shows it to me and then I will tell Eagleburger\nif I think something should be changed. But that should remain only between us.\nK: I thought I'd tell it to Marilyn Berger.\nD: Marilyn Berger grabbed me in the corridor before we left and she asked me\nif it's true that the Secretary's getting married today. I said that was one of the\nbilateral issues that wasn't discussed.\nK: She is an absolute pain in the neck.\nD: Are you, Mr. Secretary?\nK: Listen, if you don't know, it can't be true.\nD: I'm not sure anymore. I think my information is slipping.\nK: You know that these things wouldn't ever happen without you.\nD: I wanted to tell you but whatever you decide to do, Mr. Secretary, my blessing\ngoes with you. I really mean it.\nK: Thank you. I hope you don't mind my teasing you. It is really a sign of great\naffection."
