The Secretary of State to the United States Mission at the United Nations
640. Confirming telcon. Set forth below is draft res which wld be acceptable to Dept taking into account views of other dels transmitted by telephone today. Either alternative last para wld be acceptable.
You shld make clear in your consultations with other dels that we see no reason for changing draft further. You shld also point out that present res is directed against ChiComs and shld be so formulated. Dept found particularly objectionable some of the suggestions made by other dels which seemed designed to make concessions to ChiComs or to reflect on US. Dept feels that stage of cease-fire efforts was entirely adequate and is now over unless ChiComs have change of heart and agree to cease their defiance of UN.
Dept does not believe that it is essential that there be other sponsors of proposed res and US wld be perfectly willing introduce it alone. If that is done and other dels put in amendments, we will support or vote against them in accordance with their merits. We are not disposed however at this time to make further concessions in order to obtain sponsors.
