Kissinger\nJuly 22, 9:40 a. m.\nL 19741\nW: I wish to tell you how happy I am about the acceptance of the ceasefire\nand wish to thank you for all your efforts.\nK: We have worked together on many things Mr. Sec. Gen.\nW: I wanted to tell you I had a call from the For. Min. of Turkey who\nbitterly complained about the\nK: I had a call from the PM and I was going to call you. We would\nsupport an increase of the United Nations Forces and any strengthening\nof the mandate.\nW: Yes. I think this is what I want.\nK: I am told it does not need to be changed.\nW: I discussed this with some members of the Council -- the British\nAmb. here and I think that of course we have two possibilities -- either\nto get a new mandate from the Council which would create a debate\nin the Council and the other approach which I think is better -- is that\nI tell the Council that in this situation where we have a new role to play\nto separate the forces, we need strengthening of our forces and to ask\nthat existing forces KXXX of Governments who are contributing to\n(increase) their contingent. You will go along with this\n.\nK: We would strongly support it. We think it a better way of doing it\nand a faster way.\nW: Yes. Otherwise I am afraid we will have a long debate.\nK: We will strongly support it and I will instruct Scali to work with you\non it.\nW: I am grateful for this. I think it is the only possibility to establish\norder in the Island again and I think the British are quite ready to\ngive us the necessary reinforcements.\nK: My only problem Mr. Secretary is when you command the largest\narmy in the non-communist world are you going to be too difficult to\ndeal with. You are going to have a large army in Syria, Egypt, and now\nin Cyprus."
