MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
SECRET/NODIS
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM: Henry A. Kissinger
SUBJECT: Conversation with Nahum Goldmann,
President, World Jewish Congress
The attached memo of my recent conversation with Nahum
Goldmann is interesting not so much because it tells us
anything new (with two exceptions) but because it tends to
confirm certain judgments about our Near East negotiations
that we had reached independently:
1. Goldmann suggests that we have not lost the Israelis yet.
You will recall the Israeli Cabinet's sharp reaction following
Eban's visit here to our participation and position in the four-
power talks. We judged after his return to Washington that
they would press us to stand clear or not go too far but that
they had decided to stay in consultation with us and not to
threaten non-cooperation yet. Goldmann's talk with Dayan
seems to indicate that the Israelis will try to hold us back
but are convinced we cannot be stopped SO will stay with us
for the time being.
2. Goldmann's talk with Dobrynin tends to confirm just about
what Dobrynin has told Sisco--that Moscow has come a long
way toward our concept of a contractual agreement from its
earlier notion of general declarations of intent. But it still
does not accept our idea of demilitarizing the whole Sinai.
The two new elements are lack of specific Soviet concern
over the refugees (they should not be an obstacle from
Moscow's viewpoint) and confirmation that Moscow feels
it has Nasser's proxy as far as it has gone.
