    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Laird\n7:00 p. m. 11/17/69\nLaird wanted to check a couple of items. anxthe before the NSC meeting\ntomorrow. He thought the public affairs part of these discussions had\nbeen completely over looked in the paper. & He said biological research\nis something that that can be supported but biological warfare cannot be\nsupported by anyone. K asked if that wasn't the purpose. Laird said\nas far as the paper is concerned, they would miss (?) the public affairs\nimpact. Kthought Laidd should make that point at the meeting. K said\nthat would be the thrust.\nOn Geneva protocol, Laird thought they could go along with that provided\nthat there is the reservation on 14B (teargas). These are agents that we\nuse right here. We should xx tie that reservation but support everything\nelse. K said these papers are written SO that everyone can say he has\nhad far hearing. That would be K's recommendation and where he hopes\nthe President will come out.\nLaidd said he had a meeting with the Chinese and asked if K saw the wire\nthat the Embassy sent. (K hadn't) They will buy this program that was\noutlined by Packard(? ) and McCain. K said then Laird doesn't have to keep\nthe ships there. Laird said they would be left there for 5 days and they have\nthe 15 transit ships in there. K said thats the only interest we had.\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."
