    "ocrText": "Telecon\nMr. Kissinger\nX-18\nDirector Shakespeare\n9/17/70; 6:55 p. m.\nK: At least you know how to get my attention.\nS: Do you want me to read it to you -- they have alerted all the wire\nservices that at 6:00 Chicago time they will be coming out with a big\nstory.\nThis is what the President said to the editors and broadcasters -- If the\nSyrians or Iraquis intervene in Jordan there are only two of us to stop\nthem, the Israelis or us. It will be preferable for us to do it. The\nRussians are going to pay dearly for moving the missiles in. The Israelis\nare going to get five times as much as they would have if the missiles\nwould not have moved. We are embarking on a tougher policy in the\nMiddle East. The Sixth Fleet is going to be beefed up. I was having\nan argument with Kissinger who thinks we blew it in Jordan. We will\nintervene if the situation is such that our intervention will make a\ndifference. Chicago Sun Times is saying as as a lead that it was learned\ntoday from high sources that the U. S. will intervene in Jordan if the\nSyrians or Iraquis move. I know what the editors were told, but I don't\nknow how they will write it.\nK: What does he mean that I thought we blew it in Jordan. I have been\nraising hell with him along the lines that we have been behaving and that\nJordan was about to blow.\nS: This is a senior man's notes of what the President told them.\nK: Was Lisagor there?\nS: I don't know. We will get this around the world in just a few minutes.\nK: I think the Secretary of State is going to have a bloody heart attack.\nS: We passed this along to State -- Rogers and Sisco.\nK: God help us. Those fools at State think I am putting him up to it. It\ndoesn't give me any pain.\nfeg"
