TELCON
Joe Sisco/Secy Kissinger
Afternoon, January 2, 1974
K:
Joe, I think I should do a brief reply to Fahmi.
S:
Yes, that's what we're doing for you -- a brief one.
K:
I think he needs it more than Saqqaf.
S:
Well, but not too much because if you begin to engage him substantively,
then it kind of carries it out. But one that's soothing, don't you think?
K:
Well, what you can do is something similar to the Saqqaf letter.
S:
Right.
K:
That explains my reasoning. But not too long.
S:
Along those lines.
K:
Yeah. But not too long and not too apologetic.
S:
All right. (laughter) Okay.
K:
Now, secondly, I think we should keep open the possibility of Saqqaf coming
over here. It's pure domestic politics. So that we can give the President
some credit.
S:
Why don't we just tell Akin to temporarize on the thing.
K:
Good.
S:
All right. Okay. Thank you very much.
K:
Good, Joe.
