Memorandum for the Secretary of State: I should like a draft of a reply to King Saud's message of November twenty-eighth.1
It appears that the King now has one simple, even though completely unrealistic, solution to the Mid East problem. That solution is the destruction of Israel. Indeed, as I read the King's telegram, he would have the objectives and aims of the NATO Conference be humanity and world peace through the elimination of Israel as a nation.2
It looks as if it would be difficult to write a considered reply.
