These commitments were made individually by four Presidents - Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. They are commit- ments to protect any Near Eastern country against aggression. The basic principle in the commitment is that which was made in 1950 in the Tri- Partite Agreement involving France, the United Kingdom and the United States. The fundamental commitment is a desire to prevent and to counter aggression against any country in the Near East. The United States, although it has not said so publicly as yet, shall keep that commitment. This clearly has grave implications. Therefore the United States gives to the Secretary-General their complete support in the Secretary-General's forthcoming mission to Cairo. The Ambassador stressed that what he was saying had not been said publicly. Ambassador Goldberg then referred to a letter from him to the Secretary-General which he was handing to the Secretary-General. In this letter, it was emphasized that the United States has no designs on Syria or the UAR or any other country in the Near East, and the Secretary-General was informed that he could say this to Nasser in Cairo. In response to a question by RJB, Ambassador Goldberg stated that the United States commitment would extend to all countries in the Near East and therefore would be applicable in the event of an Israeli attack upon or invasion of Syria. The United States, he said, is against aggression in the area against any country in any form. Mr. Goldberg said that the United States seeks a solution to the -2- problems in the Near East through the United Nations. Justice Goldberg said, as he had previously expressed to the Secretary-General, that what has happened in the Near East recently was of very great concern to Washington and there was deep anxiety about the decision to withdraw UNEF. It may be recalled that the United States broke with its Allies at the time of the Suez crisis (Israel, France and the United Kingdom). Therefore, the United States has had a different view from that of the Secretary-General with regard to the withdrawal of UNEF. The United States position is that Nasser has a continuing obligation to protect the peace in the area and should not menace it by unilateral action. -3- Ambassador Goldberg said that the letter which he was handing to the Secretary-General is a reminder to President Nasser of the past record of the United States in this matter. Indeed, it could be said that Nasser would not be where he is now if it were not for the U.S. The letter, said Mr. Goldberg, is only for U Thant and Mr. Nasser to the extent to which U Thant may see fit to use it. It will not be made public. Mr. Goldberg said that the U.S. Government is under tremendous pressure on this question. He said the U.S. has differred with the Secretary-General on the matter, but respects his judgement and his motives. That, he said, is now past and we must look to the future. The main objective is to preserve an effective U.N. presence in the area. Some way must be found to meet the positions of both parties. We have said to the Israelis that we will keep our commitment and we wish them to cooperate. U Thant mentioned the mischievous Jordanian broadcast of yesterday. Ambassador Goldberg said that the U.S. had sent its Ambassador •to Jordan to protest about this and he was assured that such broadcasts will cease. Ambassador Goldberg thought there would be a great possibility for a U.N. presence of a new kind to be established at Sharm-el-Sheikh and Gaza, especially since the Strait of Tiran is regarded by many countries as an international waterway. He referred to the possibility of a new international instrumentality. Mr. Goldberg said that Ambassador El Kony had indicated to him that all that had to be done -4- now would be to observe the Armistice Agreement and to employ EIMA.C along the Line. But this was a one-sided approach as Israel did not agree with it. U Thant said that Ambassador Rafael had given a negative reaction this morning to paragraph 16 of the Secretary-General1s report to the Security Council. Ambassador Goldberg said that it is very important to get the forces of the two sides quickly disengaged by a, mutual withdrawal from the Line and, particularly, to get the FLA away from where it can make trouble.
