TELCON Ambassador Sullivan Mr. Kissinger 10:07 a. m. , 7-19-69 HAK said, hello Bill, how are you? Since my initial call to you I have talked to Marshall about my problem. S said, yes, he talked to me about the phone conversation you had. HAK said - one point is that I don't think we should give too quickly on that 12 month with- drawal thing. I don't think that should them SO much as to withdraw afterward. We should not give that away too quickly. And the other question was the working group thing. S said Phil Habib talked to me on the phone yesterday about that. Ed Walsh was down here yesterday on these things and Lodge's intention is to put Phil in charge of that. It could cause some jurisdictional problem. I think Phil would be better man to do it. HAK said I do too. S said I am not too sure what real interest Ed may have in doing it. HAK said do you mean that you think they are willing to move toward Paris talks. S said yes but I don't think we should believe that any desire for talks means anything significant on their part. The one thing Phil said was that they would be sending in some recommenda- tions today and would involve the idea of a second meeting some time next week. This will involve a turnaround with Ellsworth and (?). The other interesting thing that I discussed with him was that I was fascinated by the order of the 12 points in which he put ceasefire SO high - whether it is chronological thing or whether things are highest in his mind at the moment. That is a bit of a reverse since last discussion with us. I don't know whether that is significant or not. HAK said we could try to suggest another order and see if they put it back in. S said I would assume the order is their proposed agenda. S said I will be in touch with you Monday about what the recommendations are. HAK said I think we should have a talk before we all scatter. Why don't we aim for a talk on Monday morning. S said, good, I will see you.
