Joe Sisco/Mr. Kissinger
9:50 p.m., September 22, 1970 -- page 2
K:
I am sure in my own mind that we are going one way or the other.
Hussein is going to collapse.
S:
I don't at the moment think the facts sustain that.
K:
I am not talking about tomorrow, how are you going to keep the
Israelis in play by answering their questions?
S:
I am not quarrelling with that.
K:
You can't give it to them carte blanche,
S:
They ought to go to them but then say before you do, we want to
be consulted. Don't suggest that you don't answer their questions.
If you don't respond positively in principle, you lose your option.
K:
How do we answer their questions?
S:
Don't know. Got this paper and want to reflect on it. Think we say
the Jordanians are obviously trying to do this job by their own means,
Very anxious to have the two of you to get together because both of
you obviously feel there has got to be coordination and think one of
two ways the Jordanians indicate that the grounds ??? The Israelis
are ready to go or give a yes toxths and pass along that contact
between the two regardless of what the discussions are, we want an
opportunity to consult before the final move is made.
K:
What did you say, either want an opportunity to consult or the other
come
S:
If we go along, we then ought to send a message to the Jordanians,
make the
response and let them send the message to
indicate to the Jordanians what we are prepared to do and if we
say this is what we are prepared to do, we would still say to the
Israelis, after you talk to the Jordanians, we would still want you
to come back and talk to us. I may have some further thoughts
as I reflect on this tonight. Frankly, I haven't consulted anyone.
K:
I have scheduled a WSAG for 8:00 in the morning just to bring
ourselves up-to-date.
S:
Okay Henry, see you in the morning.
