Mr. Kissinger/ General Haig/THE PRESIDENT - 2 - K: Right. P: Don't you think so? K: I think that would be very helpful. They'll be tough as hell on all these things. P: I understand. K: But that should certainly be : our position. P: Therefore, it's also a position that we're going to have to take with them later, and it's also in their interest. They look awful good here. K: I, incidentally, asked him that point, and he said, 'well this depends on how things develop in Jordan, if the whole thing comes apart but yours, of course, is on the assumption that it won't come apart. P: I mean, that's a different ballgame. If the whole thing comes apart, they've changed their minds. But when they go in, they should say that. K: Absolutely. P: And break their word. K: I completely agree with you. P: Tell them they have to look good at the beginning, SO that that will help things not coming apart in Jordan. K: Right, Mr. President. P: That's the whole point of this. If things come apart, then they break their word and we understand. K: Right. P: Okay, that's going to help them. K: Right, Mr. President.
