MEMORANDUM
HAK
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 23, 1969
MEMORANDUM FOR: DR. KISSINGER
Dick Allen has handled contact with John King (a major contributor
during the campaign) at the President's request. As you can see
from Allen's memo, King is insisting upon seeing the President
to discuss the matter of drilling for oil in Israel.
The President does not want to talk to King about this matter and
feels that you should do so.
For your background, the President feels that unless there is over-
riding reason against it, we should instruct the State Department
to go along with King's request that they not "lean" on the Israelis
when Pan American starts objecting to Israeli drilling in the
El Murgan field.
In other words, the President sees no reason not to permit King
to go ahead and thinks this should be worked out by you unless
you have enough concern about the NSC report of possible reper-
cussions to suggest holding up on it.
