Mr. Kissinger/The President - 3 - P: That's what they're saying. K: No, they are saying I asked that precise question and the precise answer was that 'the possibility of a favorable response is greatly enhanced if we have your understanding. I P: Give Sisco a call and get his reaction and call me back. K: Right, Mr. President. Mr. Kissinger/General Haig K: Hello. H: Yes, sir. K: Al, the reaction was pretty much as you expected. The last thing he wants is a meeting of the principals. H: Right. K: Because he might have to face some people. And you know, he is just not eager to do. He said it will. headlines will be Israeli invasion of Jordan. It's a better headline to say the Middle East is lost two months from now. So what he wants me to do is ask Sisco on a personal basis. But you know that son-of-a-bitch will be on the phone to the Secretary within two seconds after that. H: That's correct. K: So, don't you think if I call the Secretary myself What do you think? Or I could call Sisco and then the Secretary. And then go back to the President. H: Yeah, I would do that. I'd get Sisco lined up first. K: Okay. H: And then get the Secretary next. K: Okay, but I better get you lined up for a conference call when I go back to the President. You should have been on that line, incidentally. [NLN 05-03/4: P.
