In the wake of the Six-Day War, President Lyndon Johnson declared that "an immediate return to the situation as it was on June 4," before the outbreak of hostilities, was "not a prescription for peace, but for renewed hostilities."

In referring to the 1967 lines, Nixon told Kissinger: "you and I both know they [the Israelis] can't go back to the other borders."

Reagan himself stated: "In the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely ten miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel's population lived within artilleryrange of hostile armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again."
