R: I couldn't reach him.
K: Then you should have left word.
R; I did and was told he would call me back.
K: It doesn't matter; no one is blaming you. Relax Mr. Ambassador.
We will be back to you tonight.
R: Very strange. I didn't write it down--someone else did.
K: We'll confuse everybody if we keep this up. Someone has
just come in. Goodbye. [The President had walked into Mr.
Kissinger's office with Mr. Haldeman. ]
7:20 p.m. [After the President left Mr. Kissinger's office]
K: The President wants, on an urgent basis, the assessment of
your government of the plan of a major attack in that region and on a
diversionary attack.
R: Fine.
K: On your seven questions, it would make the second irrelevant.
Isn't that true?
R: I don't understand.
asked
K: Because you have been asking for air, and you would now have
to be asked for ground under these conditions. Your second question is
whether the Jordanian government will ask you.
R: Anyhow we might have to reach (?) Jordan.
K: Of course, but at any rate it would give a different complexion
to the question. Can you give us your assessment on the feasibility of
a major operation?
