1. I HAVE NOTED FOLLOWING COMMENTS MADE BY KOSYGIN AT
A DINNER FOR JALLUD ON MAY 14 (TRANSMITTED IN STATE'S 100921
TOSEC 652):
QUOTE: IN ADDITION TO COMMENTS ON LIBYAN-SOVIET RELATION-
SHIP; KOSYGIN REPEATED SOVIET POSITION THAT ANY DISENGAGEMENT
AGREEMENTS MUST BE REGARDED AS PRELIMINARY STEPS TO OVERALL
SETTLEMENT. HE THEN ADDED, "WE PUT EMPHASIS ON THIS SIDE OF THE
MATTER BECAUSE IT BECAME APPARENT LATELY THAT THE AGGRESSOR AND
ITS PROTECTORS WANT TO SUBSTITUTE SOME HALF MEASURES, WHICH ONLY
CREATE A SEMBLANCE OF DENTENTE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, FOR AN OVERALL
MIDDLE EAST SETTLEMENT."
UNQUOTE.
2. YOU SHOULD CALL DOBRYNIN AND POINT OUT THAT SUCH COMMENTS
ARE NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF MY RECENT CONVERSATIONS WITH GROMYKO.
THESE COMMENTS ARE NOT APPRECIATED, PARTICULARLY COMING AT THIS
DELICATE MOMENT IN THE CURRENT TALKS.

FROM: SECRETARY KISSINGE
1. I have noted following comments made by Kosygin at
a dinner for Jallud on May 14 (transmitted in State's 100921 -
TO SEC 652):
QUOTE: In addition to comments on Libyan-Soviet relationship;
Kosygin repeated Soviet position that any disengagement agreements
must be regarded as preliminary steps to overall settlement. He
then added, 'tWe put emphasis on this side of the matter because it
became apparent lately that the aggressor and its protectors want to
substitute some half measures, which only create a semblance of
detente in the Middle East, for an overall Middle East settlement.'/(
UNQUOTE.
2. You should call Dobrynin and point out that such comments
are not in the spirit of my recent conversations with Gromyko. These
comments are not appreciated, particularly coming at this delicate
moment in the current talks.
3. Warm regards.
