Let me read a conversation I had with the President\nthis morning. He said I think we should be enigmatic and say\nnothing. Then I said I had talked to Bill and said that we should be\nvery restrained and low key. His reply was yes, I will say nothing.\nHe said he had had a talk with you and was glad we were all in\nagreement. And he said I won't say anything out here. I don't\nknow where this leads us.\nR:\nI don't either. Are they printing the whole thing? My office says\nthe transcript is pretty bad.\nto\nK:\nSisco said the conversation (previously) had nothing/do with Jordan.\nWe were talking about the Klein speech. There was literally no\nreference to the Middle East. Well, it is water over the dam. I\nthink we have to sit tight and see how it plays.\nR:\nLoomis says the wire services have put out the word to keep the\nwires open SO they are probably going to give it a good play.\nK:\nI don't know what Golda Meir thinks she will be getting. If that\nis what he says when he gets mad, we will have to keep him calm.\nR:\nWas this on or off-the-record?\nK:\nIt was off-the - record. I asked him to keep it low key, that we\ncoul d make military moves but we should not talk about it.\nR:\nIf you look at the telegrams, etc., that have been coming in, it\nall has been looking favorable,\nK:\nI am not sure that it is right for us to move but I don't think we should\nsay only two people can save him (the King).\nR:\nEverything has been going SO well. He said he was pleased about\nhow things were being handled.\nK:\nIt may be the end of the Yugoslavia visit. I am not sure he can\nafford to have us."
