I just got that statement which Sisco\nLDX'ed over which I think is excellent. We just have really a\nminor nitpick where it says \"have engaged that force are resisting\nthis invasion.\" You know.\nR: Say it again.\nK: Where you say that Jordanian tank forces are engaging this\nforce, just to make it a little stronger -- to say \"are resisting\nthis invasion.\" Or rather, resisting this force -- rather than\n\"engage\" to indicate.. But otherwise, I think it's first-class.\nR: Well, I want to talk to the President to be sure he wants\nwhether he wants to have it from just the State Department or in\nmy name. I don't think it makes too much difference. I sort of\npreferred my name in the sense I think it's a little stronger.\nK: He would like it as strong as possible, and if you are willing\nto have it in your name, I know he would want it in your name.

Well, so he's in\ntransit now.\nR:\nAre you in the White House?\nK:\nNo, I'm at home now.\nR:\nWell, there's no point in bothering him if it's all right.\nK:\nI know he would\nMy own personal judgment, Bill, is that he\nwould appreciate it probably if you did it in your name, but he\nwouldn't ever ask for it. He would have left that up to you, but"
