MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
PARTICIPANTS:
President Ford
Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Secretary of State
Brent Scowcroft, Assistant to the President
for National Security Affairs
DATE AND TIME:
Tuesday, March 9, 1976
9:28 10:02 a.m.
PLACE:
The Oval Office
Kissinger: I have asked for a letter from Atherton. I am just worried
that if we replace him and give him another post, at his confirmation
they will ask him about your conversations with Sadat.
The Sheehan article just about did it for me with the Jewish
community. Humphrey called me to say the Jews are going all out on
the C-130's. We must stand fast.
President: Henry, we are going to stand fast on this. They are so

short-sighted I can't believe it.
Kissinger: I gave Dinitz hell. If Sadat gets overthrown, Israel will be
faced with thousands of tanks, hundreds of aircraft, etc.
DATE 6/17/04
President: On Atherton, let's look at the letter he sends. [There is
discussion of what should be done with him.]
Kissinger: Lou Harris told me his latest poll showed me at 60 percent
and Moynihan at 40 percent in dealing with the UN and Zionism.
President: I think Pat has really hurt himself.
Kissinger: Eilts is here. Can Ibring him in?

President: What shall I tell him?
Kissinger: I would propose a large movement in return for non-
belligerency. Tell Sadat that if that doesn't work, we are prepared
to try for a conference but it will be hard this year.
On the Sadat speech, I think it is a good idea but we shouldn't
urge. [There is a break while Eilts comes in].
Kissinger: Given what you said at Rambouillet, slipping a tariff on
right now would produce a very, very bad reaction. If you could go
for OMA without a club at the end.
President: Let me read it and then we can talk.
Kissinger: I would like to talk another time about State personnel. If
you are uneasy about Rogers, we should maybe do something else.
President: Let's talk about it. I like Rogers personally.
