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. H. R. HALDEMAN HAK: D'd like to get Saunders to do a quick piece One this, then with will tet up a russing for you King OK No See we Mr
