REF DEPTEL 208031

1. FOREIGN MINISTER HAS TELEPHONED ME TO URGE THAT USG,
IF IT HAS NOT ALREADY DONE SO, ISSUE A STATEMENT IMMEDIATELY TO
THE EFFECT THAT NO RPT NO AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OR MILITARY
AIRCRAFT ARE OR HAVE BEEN IN AREA OF PRESENT HOSTILITIES OR
ANY COUNTRY INVOLVED THEREIN.

2. FORMIN DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY HE FELT SO STRONGLEY THE STATEMENT
SHOULD BE ISSUED. IT COULD BE HE THINKS THE UAR MAY TRY TO
CLAIM AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND PLANES WERE INVOLVED IN
ISRAELI AIR ACTION AGAINST UAR.

3. URGE WE FOLLOW FONMIN'S ADVICE. IF STATEMENT MADE PLEASE
TELEGRAPH TEXT TO EMBASSY AMMAN.

4. FYI HAVE COMMUNICATED SUBSTANCE EMBTEL 4068, DEPTEL 208031
AND DEPTEL 208038 TO TOP LEVEL GOJ.
