    "ocrText": "TELCON\nSecy Rogers\nMr. Kissinger\n6-2-69\n12:50 PM\nR said he had been talking to G Smith about SALT talks and he mentioned\nJuly 20 as starting date for & talks. R said he's thought it was unwise to\n(*Smith)\nfix date now but we should talk to Dobrynin about fixing date soon. R said\nhe agreed with Smith but wondered about doing before ABM vote and whether\nit malte much difference . K said he was under impression that Pres\ntold R not to say anything before the AMB vote. R said he was the one who\nsuggested that. R said he will have to say something tomorrow at press\nconference and asked when this was on for the NSC. K said on June 18.\nR said he could say matter was on for NSC discussion and shortly thereafter\nhe would talk to Dobrynin about fixing date and hoped it would not be before\ntoo long. K said he thought we would have to say something about consulting\nallies. R said he could say that too. R said he is more concerned about\nducking and then credibility will be challenged. R asked if K had noticed\nFulbright's tough statement this morning on it and K said no.\nR said he originally said late Spring or early Summer and if he could offer\nto get started before July is out, it would be helpful. K asked if Elliot\nhad told R about K's conversation with Dobrynin. Dobyyin came in to\ndeliver private message from fellow from Academy of Sciences re\nxxxenbit scientific meeting and question was asked if he should go to this\nmeeting in view of fact SALT talks starting at this time. K said that of course\nled to discussion of SALT talks and Dobrynin said he did not much care when\nthey started - we could not point out to his every having asked to start them.\nRxxxxx\nR said the reason he said that, Dobrynin told him off the record his govt\nhad asked him not to show any urgency. K said he told Dobrynin whatever\nnotification he got would come through R. K said he had NOX no fixed\nview about the date but it is his feeling iss if we gave Europeans\nimpression we have dealt with Soviets without talking to them there will\nbe enormous amout of trouble. R said he did not disagree with this. K said\nhe thought a date like August 10 we would be under less pressure. R said\nhe did not thing there would be much trouble with Allies if we\ntalked a month in advance - they know we are going to have\nthe talks. K said he thought it would be better before we offer a date to the\nSoviets, to check it with the allies. R said trouble with that is that it will\nprobably leak but he does not object - public will think we were forced into it.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
