Nixon Looks at the Middle East
NEW YORK (JTA) — In -
the sixth of seven daily ex-
cerpts from the soon-to-be-
released "RN: The Memoirs
of Richard Nixon," in the
May 5 New York Times, the
former President discussed
some of the Middle East
crises of his presidency and
his responses.
When the crisis erupted
in Jordan in September,
1970, when terrorists at-
tacked the Hussein regime,
Nixon told National
Security Advisor Henry A.
Kissinger to tell Ambas-
sador Yitzhak Rabin — conventional and nu-
after Syrian tanks crossed clear alert.
Nixon wrote that he did

ning of November and told
Nixon: "There were days
and hours when we needed a
friend and you came right
in. You don't know what
your airlift means to us."
Nixon said he urged on
Mrs. Meir a policy of
"sensible restraint," tel-
ling her that "the prob-
lem that Israel must now
consider is whether the
policy you are following
can succeed. Lacking a
settlement, the only pol-
icy is constantly being
prepared for war. But
that really is no policy at
all."
Nixon then described
Kissinger's "enormous
stamina, his incisive intel-
lect" and his "great personal
charm" in his successful
negotiations to arrange a
separation of forces in the
Sinai.

Rabin ascribed Hussein's
victory to the tough Ameri-

threat, and the superb fight-
