MEMORANDUM OF KING HUSSEIN VISIT

General Scowcroft called Friday afternoon inquiring about the possibility of the Vice President hosting a dinner for King Hussein Tuesday, March 12. Kissinger is in Jordan and meeting with the King and wanted some options for scheduling.

It was being proposed for the President to spend some time with Hussein in the morning, Kissinger host a lunch at State and the Vice President host a dinner that evening. Scowcroft was advised of the present commitment of the Vice President on the West Coast on that day. I discussed this matter further with Brent on Saturday and told him I would get back to him to see if there was some flexibility in our schedule. The Vice President's departure on Tuesday might be late enough, if he so desired, for him to host a breakfast meeting for Hussein.

I spoke with Bob and he indicated that we explore several possibilities of rescheduling to see if we could be helpful in this regard, but to wait until Tuesday to meet with the Vice President to get his guidance and decision.

I called Brent back to convey our desire to cooperate and to indicate that there may be some flexibility in the schedule and that as soon as the Vice President carne back, we would bring this to his attention; but in all events we would make every effort to cooperate in every way we could. I expressly mentioned the possibility of something in the morning before the Vice President departs, such as a breakfast. Brent understands our position and I am of the view that we have the initiative to move in such way as the Vice President may desire.

MEMORANDUM FOR

THE VICE PRESIDENT

SUBJECT: King Hus sein Visit, March 12 -15

I have received a call from General Scowcroft requesting that you host a dinner in honor of King Hussein the evening of March 12th. The President was originally scheduled to host this dinner and has asked that you host it in his place. In addition, the Jordanians have requested a private meeting between yourself and King Hussein the morning of March 13th, and King Hussein desires to host a return dinner in your honor the evening of the 13th.

You are currently scheduled to address the Association of General Contractors in San Diego at 2 :00 p. m. on March 12th. In addition, you are scheduled for a reception and dinner the evening of the 13th with the National Association of Food Chains. By moving your address in San Diego to a morning hour, you could return to Washington in time to host the dinner on the 12th. You are not scheduled to speak at the dinner on the 13th and, by dropping by the reception and not attending the dinner that evening, you could be available for King Hussein's dinner. You could, of course, cancel both of these engage­ ments but by making the above sugge sted adjustments you could meet your already scheduled commitments and accommodate the new requirements resulting from King Hussein's visit.

Brent Scowcroft indicated that King Hussein has attached some importance to the dinner date of March 12th. As you are aware, much importance is being given to this visit. I recommend that you make the necessary adjustments to the hedule. L +Ri fu

SUBJECT: U.S.-Jordanian Relations

Blair House, Wednesday, March 13, 1974, 11:00 - 11:45 a.m.

Vice President

I want to welcome you no this country. We have had a long period of warm and friendly relations and I look forward to continuing these and doing what I can to improve them.

I know of the agreement or commitment which the

President has made to you for assistance. You can count on me to support that with the Congress. As you know it is hard to predict what the Congress will do. I have worked with them for a long time. I am a firm believer in foreign assistance and will do all that I can to make it possible for Jordan to receive the aid mentioned by the President.

ofigQR13':1?/NODIS XGDS-3 SECftB'fl~ODIS -2­

I would be grateful for your appraisal of events and developments in the area. I know of your long experience and it would be valuable to me if you could give me your own views.

King Hussein

First, I am grateful for your help and support.

Jordan and the United States have for a long time worked closely together. The Middle East question has been one of the most serious problems. It is the root of much of the instability in the world. Palestine has worried us all for a number of years without a solution. It has not been resolved and the people in the area are subject to great uncertainty about what will happen. They live in difficult conditions.

The Jordanian family includes both Palestinians and

Jordanians. For over 60 years we have lived together in the area. The Palestinians enjoy full rights of citizen­ ship in Jordan, the only country in the Arab world where this is true. Jordan occupies an important location both.,/f:'~f' i(~' ; ',~ in respect to a peaceful settlement, -and also as regards' the oil-rich countries in the Arabian peninsula.

The Soviets have long been interested in the area.

They have used the conflict to gain power. They have stirred up emotions. We have tried to do our part and do all -3­ possible for stability in the area. In 1967 we lost the

West Bank. We continue to have strong links with the people there. We accepted Resolution (UNSC) 242. In the

October war we did not participate directly in the conflict.

We had been in touch with Syria and Egypt. We knew war was coming, it was almost inevitable. There was no preven­ tative action we could take. We did not know exactly when it would start. The Syrians,and Egyptians wanted to get worlq atten.tion and at some moment they would resort to war to do it.

We had to intervene in some way. We did send some of our troops to Syria. They helped Syria and also counterbalanced the Iraqis who were meddling in Syria.

The Soviets left Egypt and consolidated in Iraq. They wanted to infiltrate Syria and Iraq and perhaps eventually link them up in some kind of unified state from the

Mediterranean to the Gulf. It is an area of increasing

Soviet influence.

In the Gulf, Jordan is working with technicians and military personnel to help in our common interests. Jordan is also in North Yemen and in Oman helping resist the pressure from South Yemen and in the Dhofar war. l~'~' Jordan has also accepted Resolution 338, and the!'" idea of Geneva. There we have accepted to go as a

-GECRE'!'fNODIS SECftET1NODIS

-4­ party to the Conference. At least in part we went because we were a party to Resolution 242.

There is a new mood in the Arab world. Since 1948 most Arab states have continued to intervene directly.

Now the Arab people want to disengage from direct involve­ mente There is an idea about creating a Palestinian government in exile or to recognize_their representatives.

This approach has the support of many of the other Arab governments. It is awkward for Jordan, since Jordan is comprised of one-half Palestinians. We in Jordan have to face this new trend. It has the support of the Moslem states, the non-aligned and the Soviet Union.

The Vice President

You see Soviet influence in this?

King Hussein

Yes I do. They are active in this. We welcomed

Egyptian-Israeli disengagement in Jordan. We want to apply the principle to others -- to Syria and to Jordan.

We want to get the Israelis off the West Bank. As a first step we proposed they move back to a distance to be determined. If 242 is fully implemented, we would recover the West Bank.

There are still problems in the West Bank. The

. lines drawn in 1948 were related to the ceasefire and

split villages and towns. We would be prepared for minor changes on a reciprocal basis. Syria and Egypt

always have had defined borders and for them it may be

somewhat easier.

On Jerusalem, it is a city precious to all religions and all have lived there together for hundreds of years.

We want the return of sovereignty over the Arab parts.

If this takes place we are willing to consider a united

Jerusalem in a new status. We are willing to do our part to solve this problem. Unfortunately, Israel does not accept this.

The Vice President

li.ave they made any counter?

King Hussein

They have insisted they must have secure boundaries.

This is vague and difficult. They also have religious problems with the return of the West Bank. As for security, it is not the military position that guarantees this, but the will to live together. They have proposed instead of withdrawal the idea of corridors through the parts they want to keep on the Jordan. We reject this solution "iSIilCREI'f11,roDIS

-6­

because it requires us in point of fact to yield

territory to Israel which they have no right to be in.

The Vice President

Have they given any counter on Jerusalem? King Hussein

No they are adamant about it being totally their

city. They will not go back to the pre-1967 position.

We are, sir, almost at a cross roads. The PLO

extremists want a government -- to create a state. Our

ties with the Palestinians are strong and solid, but the

Soviets and the other Arabs are pushing this course of

action to try to create a governmental body. We now say that we accept 242 and want to return to the West Bank and establish peace there if Israel will agree. But if they continue to say no, we will declare we have failed and support the formation of a government. The

Palestinians might be more flexible in dealing with Israel.

The Vice President

Can this await Syrian-Israeli disengagement, like the

Syrian questions waited for Sinai?

King Hussein

We could accept that, but events are pushing this alternative very fast. There was talk before I left Jordan that Jordan and the Palestinians should begin working _ SEC~/NODIS

-7­

jointly.

The Vice President

What we need is three more Henry Kissingers to

cover all of the problems - Egypt, Syria and Jordan.

I appreciate having the background you have given me.

I am handicapped by not having visited the area. I

planned an earlier visit and am looking forward to

renewing this plan.

King Hussein

It would be a pleasure for us to welcome you.

And I hope that some progress can be made, even before

you come.

.gG~B!P/NODIS .. SE€~fNODIS -8­ Prime Minister Rifai. We hope very much to welcome you

to Jordan. It is an opportune time for your visit to

follow the President and the Secretary's earlier trips.

As a result of initiatives taken by the United States

and especially Secretary Kissinger, we fer the first time have hope for a settlement. There is a marked change.

The Arabs are really prepared for peace. To a large extent

that is the result of the work of the United States. It

could not have been done without the United States. The

Syrians are interested in disengagement and a peace settlement. Jordan has always felt that peace must come.

Washington, we hope, will help us arrive at a just and acceptable peace. There is more interest in the world now in this and your visit would be a great help.

The Vice- President. The Secretary of State has done an

~~, ~!nv~lu~blejob. We all consider his work as of major ~.' ~<~ significance. This is still a difficult and volatile ii( '~{\ problem. The visits by the President and the secretary~_ come at a time when we can make headway. If we miss this opportunity we fail mankind generally.

No Secretary of State, and we have had some very good ones, has had the public support which Secretary Kissinger has. The U. S. people believe in what he is trying to do.

He goes into the negotiations with the U. S. people behind him. If we miss this occasion it would be sad and tragic.

Secretary Kissinger also has Congressional support, both Democrats and Republicans. They believe in and

.... SECRE'l'..,INOD I S -9­

follow his leadership. If we are to be helpful we must

have and keep that kind of support. We want to move toward

a solution of the Syrian and Israeli problem and to work on

the Palestinian question. There is a great desire on our part to do this. If I can be helpful with the Congress where I have worked, I will do so. As far as travel in the

area, I am looking forward to coming, perhaps after our

elections would be best.

Prime Minister Rifai. The Secretary has done a marvelous

job. He broke the ice with Syria: the first Secretary

in 20 years to visit. We are delighted the President might come soon. It will be a remarkable sign of good will and a real achievement. If his visit is followed

up by you, it will show again that we are on the right track.

The Vice President. The United States respects His

Majesty. You have gone through some trying times. We

respect your courage and your stature.

King Hussein. I want to play my role. We badly need

a just and lasting peace. /(''':"ff}i1il> ,. The Vice Presi-dent. To the extent I can be helpful in;', .

the Congress I will work to get the funding you need.

I know of the President's commitment, and I will do all

feasi..ble to get it. The President can only allocate what the Congress gives us. Progress on the Syrian/Israeli

and on the Jordanian/Israeli questions can help to generate -eEC~I~6DIS -10­

Congressional support. And Jordan is the key to maintaining stability.

King Hussein. We are working on two lines. Jordan hopes

to stand on its own feet economically in two or three years.

We are optimisitc about the future. In the military

area others have received much in the way of weapons.

The Soviets have only limited common interests in the

Middle East with us. They suffered a large setback because

of the Secretary's initiatives. They still have 'Iraq and

Syria. They have replaced losses and poured in weapons.

Jordan must stand on its own or we will have 1970 all

over again. Relations with Syria are good, but we must

be able tomndle a Syrian invasion. They must never think -~~ they can repeat their actions a second time. h

We are always ready to stand with the U. S. in the

area.

The Vice President. What do you need in the way of hardware,

~ore tanks and anti-tank weapons?

King Hussein. We want to modernize our forces. We hope

to restructure, to reduce manpower and increase our mobility.

We also want a capability to meet the situation in soon the Gulf. We will/have our engineers in Oman. We help with advice and training elsewhere. In an emergency, we

can help where you might be stopped or find it difficult.

~C~~/NODIS -11­

The Vice President. Are the Soviets helping to equip the

PLO?

King Hussein. Yes, they are. But that is not the problem

for us. It is Syria and Iraq. We took action in October to help Syria, but also to prevent the creation of a Syrian/

Iraqi axis.

The Vice President. We will do all we can to effectuate the

President's agreement. What the President says, he means.

We will of course be bound by what the Congress gives us.

This talk has been educational and beneficial for me.

I am looking forward this evening to seeing Your Majesty.

There was a short discussion following on providing

a statement for the press which was worked out by the

respective staffs.

BRIEFING PAPER

Your Meeting with King Hussein of Jordan

11:00 A.M. March 13

King Hussein will arrive in Washington on the afternoon of March 11 and will meet with the Presi­ dent the following morning. You have agreed to host a dinner for Hussein on the evening of March 12, to meet with him at 11:00 A.M. on March 13 and to attend the return dinner that Hussein plans to host on the evening of March 13. During his visit Hussein will also be meeting with Secretaries Kissinger and Schlesinger, and with Congressional leaders and the press. He will enter Walter Reed Hospital on March 15 for a check-up and will then go to Florida for a vacation. A schedule of activities for the visit is enclosed along with biographic sketches of members of the Jordanian party.

The United States has an uninterrupted his­ tory of close relations with Jordan since that country achieved independence following World War II. In the late 1950s the United States replaced Britain as Jordan's chief foreign friend and supplier of assistance. Since then the United States has pro­ vided Jordan substantial military and economic assistance to help it maintain its independence. In the 1960s Jordan began to move rapidly toward the goal of economic self-sufficiency but suffered a ser­ ious setback in 1967 when it lost its most promising region, the West Bank, to Israeli occupation.

We view King Hussein's rule in Jordan as a key element of stability in the Middle East. Since he confronted and defeated the radical Arab guerrillas in October of 1970 and in July of 1971, Hussein has maintained quiet along Jordan's earlier troubled cease-fire line with Israel. Jordan in effect serves as a buffer between Israel and the militant radical Arab states of Syria and Iraq, to the north and east, and between Syria and Iraq and the oil-rich conservative regimes of the Arabian Peninsula in the south.

King Hussein's current visit to Washington is his fifth since the President entered ~ffice. We want to assure him of the importance we attach to Jordan's continued participation in the peace­ making process and to have him leave Washington SE~ tAl ItM 10/"Z-y/&O DECLASS. 12/31/82 -2­ confident of our friendship. Hussein will be seek­ ing from us assurances of increased military and economic assistance.

On the personal side, you should know that Hussein has two sons (by his now divorced British wife, Muna) in school in this country, at the Bement and Eaglebrook Academies at Deerfield, Mass. The boys are doing very well, and we under­ stand the King is well pleased with themucation they are receiving. You might want to mention this at an appropriate time in the conversation.

Talking Points

We expect Hussein's calIon you to be solely of a courtesy, get-acquainted nature. We would not anticipate that he would raise substantive matters, except in the most general way.

The following are points you might make (King Hussein is usually addressed as "Your Majesty"):

- We are delighted to have Your Majesty in this country again. The united States places a very high value on its friendship with Jordan.

- We have always admired Your Majesty's courage, particularly in the difficult days of October 1970. We are proud to be associated with a leader of Your Majesty's distinction.

- Your Majesty's moderate and constructive policies have made Jordan a model of stability and progress in the Middle 'East.

- The united States is pleased that it has been able to play an active role in promoting a Middle East settlement. We will continue to do .l,.~~... "~";:;~';"::" our utmost to bring about a solution to the tragic ;"".­ conflict which has plagued the Middle East for the ~.:; last 25 years. : ":..

SEGRE'f -3­

- Your Majesty should know that we do not forget our friends and that Jordan can continue to count on the friendship and support of the United States. - We are honored that Your Majesty has chosen to send his sons to school in our country. We understand the boys are fine students. Their stay here should contribute further to the strength­ ening of ties between our two countries.

J,.. PROPOSED TO.l\ST FOR VICE PHESIDENTtS DINNER FOR Kl[\;-C HUSSEIN OF JOr-DAN

Tuesday, :March 12th, at the St"lte Dep3.rtment

Your :Maje:3ty, and our very distinguished guests:

This is the first occasion I have had since becoming Vice President

to welcon1.e a visiting head of state to Washington. I find this a

particular honor, because we are welcoming tonight a very special,

long - standing friend of the United States, a man of renowned courage

and wisdom: His Majesty King Hussein of Jordan.

The moment is auspicious in other respects. I -- and I assume

all of us in this room -- cannot but be encouraged by the trend of

events in the Middle East, a movement away from war and acrimony

toward accommodation and mutual respect. For the first thne in a

generation we are able to look with some optimism toward the pro spect

of a just and lasting peace in this troubled area of the world.

The strength and continuity of the relations between Jordan and

the United States are demonstrated by the fact that His Majesty first visited the United States fifteen years ago when shortly after acceding to the throne, he was the guest of President Eisenhower. General

Eisenhower was a great soldier. Your Majesty is also a great

soldier. But as the leader of your people, you have proved that great

soldiers are in the front rank of those who work for peace. Since A,f{t:7af;,0'.,

~l. ,I

(date?) he has been a frequent and welcome visitor to Washington ;:: dllring the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon Adnl.inistralions. The fact that Secretary Kissinger has visited JoY"dan four times since the

October ','far is, I believe, indicative of the importance the United

States attaches to its relations with Jordan.

Any characterization of Our honored guest tonight :must center

on the word "courage" -- the physical courage which has enabled him

to aSSUDl.e the mantle of leadership at an early age, survi.ve numerous

difficult challenges, and perform his duties as head of state without

regard for his personal safety, with only the best interests of his

people at heart. :Nlore impo rtant is the courage of his convictions

the will to do what is best for Jordan without flinching before

countervailing pressures and inducements. His Majesty has

confounded his critic s and proven his mettle time and again. We are

hono red to count him as a friend.

I would like to as sure Your Majesty that the Governrrtent of the

United States, from President Nixon on down, attributes the ut:most importance to our close relations with the Kingdom of Jordan and

"considers the continued vitality of the special relationship which has bound our two nations for the past twenty years to be an ingredient,/';::'''''f

,,~ ll.,' . i"" '-# essential to any peace in your area of the world, the cradle of civilization and horne of the prophets.

Jordan has a key and difficult role to play in the process of working tov/arc! an honora.ble and ac..:eptable solution to the cornplex proble:ms of the ~;1ic!dle East. I do not pretend that there is an easy answer to these

2 hard problems, b'..lt I can state categorically that Yny govermnent 100k:'3 lor-Nard to working as a p3.rtner with Jordan in this difficult but historic challenge. We are not dism.ayed by the problerr..s which '>vait to be resolved; our relationship with Jordan and our respect for

His :Majesty are such that we know our friendship will survive and, indeed, will be strengthened as we work together for peace and dignity.

Your 1\1ajesty, you are a friend among friends who respect you, who adITlire your accomplishments and your steadfastness, and who are looking for ways in which we can be of assistance. You are always welcome here; our horne is your horne. ':< ~Can!t. he say it in Arabic? }

I wish you a pleasant and successful stay in the United States, and I pray that your presence here will "contribute to the gbal we all desire: a just and lasting peace and a more decent life not only for all the peoples of the Middle East, but of the whole world.

It is in this spirit that I ask you to rise and raise your glasses to His Majesty, the King of Jordan.

MEMORANDUM FOR j

THE VICE PRESIDENT

SUBJECT: Your Meeting With King Hus sein of Jordan

You are scheduled to TIleet with King Hussein at Blair House at 11:00 a. TIl. this TIlorning. Participants in the TIleeting, in addition to yourself and the King, include Mr. Robert T. HartTIlan and Mr. John O. Marsh of your staff and the U. S. ATIlbassador to Jordan, ThoTIlas Pickering. Also present will be the Jordanian ATIlbassador, Mr. Salah and the PriTIle Minister, Mr. al-Rifa'I. King Hussein is scheduled to TIleet this afternoon with the House Near East Subconunittee, chaired by Lee HaTIlilton of Indiana and John Buchanan of AlabaITla is the ranking TIlinority TIleTIlber. Below is SOTIle background TIlaterial and talking points you TIlay wish to use in this TIlorning' s TIleeting.

Background

The United States has an uninterrupted history of close relations with Jordan since that country achieved independence following World War II. In the late 1950s the United States replaced Britain as Jordan's chief foreign friend and supplier of assistance. Since then the United States has provided Jordan substantial TIlilitary and econoTIlic assistance to help it TIlaintain its independence. In the 1960s Jordan began to TIlove rapidly toward the goal of econoTIlic self- sufficiency but suffered a serious setback in 1967 when it lost its TIlost proTIlising region, the West Bank, to Israeli occupation.

We view King Hussein's rule in Jordan as a key eleTIlent of stability in the Middle East. Since he confronted and defeated the radical Arab guerrillas in October of 1970 and in July of 1971, Hussein has TIlaintained quiet along Jordan's earlier troubled cease -fire line with Israel. Jordan in effect serves as a buffer between Israel and the TIlilitant radical Arab -SECRET

states of Syria and Iraq, to the north and east, and between Syria and Iraq and the oil-rich conservative regimes of the Arabian Peninsula in the south.

King Hus seinls current visit to Washington is his fifth since the President entered office. We want to assure him of the importance we attach to Jordanl s continued participation in the peace -making process and to have him leave Washington confident of our friendship. Hus sein will be seeking from us as surances of increased military and economic assistance.

On the personal side, you should know that Hussein has two sons (by his now divorced British wife, Muna) in school in this country, at the Bement and Eaglebrook Academies at Deerfield, Mass. The boys are doing very well, and we understand the King is well pleased with the education they are receiving. You might want to mention this at an appropriate time in the conversation.

Talking Points

We expect Hus seinls call on you to be solely of a courte sy, get­ acquainted nature. We would not anticipate that he would raise substantive matters, except in the most general way.

The following are points you might make:

_ We are delighted to have Your Majesty in this country again. The United States places a very high value on its friendship with Jordan.

_ We have always admired Your Maje styl s courage, particularly in the difficult days of October 1970. We are proud to be associated with a leader of Your Majestyl s distinction.

_ Your Majestyl s moderate and constructive policies have made Jordan a model of stability and progress in the Middle East.

_ The United States is pleased that it has been able to play an active role in promoting a Middle East settlement. We will continue to do our utmo st to bring about a solution to the tragic conflict which has plagued the Middle East for the last 25 years.

2 ..

- Your Majesty should know that we do not forget our friends and that Jordan can continue to count on the friendship and support of the United States.

- We are honored that your Majesty has chosen to send his sons to school in our country. We understand the boys are fine students. Their stay here should contribute further to the strengthening of ties between our two countries.
