    "ocrText": "Telecon\nX-63\nMr. Kissinger\nAmb. Rabin\n9/22/70; 8:50 P. m.\nK: At a reception at an Embassy I ran into John Chancellor who said that\nValeriano had been told by an Israeli official that joint planning was going\non for an Israeli attack.\nR:\nTotal XXXXXX nonsense. I don't believe that any Israeli said SO. I\nwill tell you what happened, In Israel it appeared on some papers that the\nGovernment of Israel has no intentions to take the chestnut out of the fire\nfor the Americans.\nK: Just make sure that none of your people.\nR: I had an opportunity to talk to John.Chancellor because he attended\nthe\nluncheon for the Prime Minister and I don't believe that anybody said so.\nK: He said it was said to Valeriano.\nR: I don't believe anyone said that. I know exactly what I said and what I\nI instructed everyone to say. I can check it because our spokesman is here.\nK: Don't bother. I take your word for it.\nR: The whole problem came about with the news that Israel is not going\nto\ndo anything. This is what happened in our newspapers. We had a lot of\nquestions why Israel is waiting. Why they are not doing anything -- that's\n90% of the questions. May I ask you another thing? When do you believe\nyou will be in a position to tell me something?\nK: Before noon tomorrow. I know what the President is going to decide but\nwe want to do it with the others,\nR: It is very interesting because my own Ambassador (?) is after me.\nK: I ran into the Soviet Charge at this Embassy reception and they seem to\nbe extremely nervous,\nR: He phoned my Ambassador at least ten times. I am sure it is not true\nwhat Chancellor told you and the problems we have had today since all the\nnewspapers in Israel came out that Israel is not going to do anything -we\nare getting a lot of questions Why Israel sits idle and doesn't react.\nK: Okay.\nfeg"
