    "ocrText": "TELECON\nx 53\nRoger Davies/Mr. Kissinger\n9:20 p.m., September 21, 1970\nK:\nI have suggestions 1 changes in only the first three questions, the\nlast four are okay. In the first one, I would like where it is indicated\nin the second sentence \"it should be on the basis of these conversations\nand the fact that our common interest would be served\". In the next\nquestion at the beginning of the third sentence, would add \"with respect\nto ground operations the only indication we have\". Would add at the\nend of that paragraph \"Israeli air strikes have been requested and\napproved previously on several occasions by the King\". Do you agree\nwith these?\nD:\nYes, they certainly fill out.\nK:\n\"How will the U.S.\" would go through. That is a separate issue and\ntry to leave without.\nD:\nTrying to put in a quote from one of the President's statements.\nK:\nOkay, leave in \"within defensible border\" but add here \"in the present\nerisis the United States has augumented the 6th Fleet. It has also\ntaken other readiness measures\",\nD:\nAt the end of the paragraph?\nK:\nNo, after the phrase \"defensible border\". That is, clearly imply a\ndecision not to permit Soviet intervention against Israeli in the conditions\nunder discussion. Then the next sentence would be \"As for the specific\nmeasures, the United States may take\". Then I would have \"to prevent\"\nand take out \"in the future\" but to prevent and then add as a last\nsentence after the time we have contingency plans for these eventualities. \"\nD:\nWill make the changes and ask the Israelis to come in and pick up a\ncopy. I will wire Tel Aviv and Amman and tell them. I will call Joe\nand get back to you.\nK:\nGood, then maybe I can get some sleep.\nD:\nI hope SO.\nDECLASSIFIED\nwgh\nE.O. 12958, as amended, Sect 3.5\nNLN 05-03/32 pultr 19 Dec 2007\nBy CIM NARA, Date Apr 2009\n4.1011"
