| Fro m Harold Saunders memo of gist on mtg w/ Amb of Iran today (page 5)Two general topics were discussed -- when the President asked how the Shah of Iran was

getting along, Amb Meyer described the success of the Shah's land reform program and of his economic policies in general.The President was pleased and suggested Mr. Rostow look into ways of translating Iran's experience to Vietnam Amb.Meyer described his views on the current crisis between Israel and the neighboring Arab states. He felt that PresidentNasser, in accusing the US and Britain of involvement in Israeli air attacks, was trying to trigger a cut off of oil suppliesby the oil producin g Arab countries, thereby shifting the confrontation on to other shoulders. The meeting closedwith the President expressing his hope that the Shah would be able to reschedule his visit to Washington and askedAmbassador Meyer to convey his warmest wishes to the Shah, the Empress, and their children.
