Callaghan: We might have a go at it.

On the subject of Israel and the UN. The Israelis are pressing us to walk out.

Kissinger: We are opposed to turning this into a monumental issue now before it is formally posed. We have options to discuss with you.

Callaghan: We have been sending ours around. In Kampala they are now talking about 1976 rather than 1975.

Kissinger: There are many options -- reduced participation rather than a walkout.

Callaghan: Can't the Nine and the US work on it?

Kissinger: Yes.

Wilson: What have you said publicly?

Kissinger: Well, we haven't said what we will do. We'll have a paper for the President next week--the options--then you could send someone over.

Callaghan: We have a good position after South Africa last year.
