    "ocrText": "Telecon\nProfessor Doty\n4:55 p. m.\n11/25/69\nK asked if Doty received the statement on biological warfare. Doty said\nhe had just read it and it looks very good. K said we are destroying all\nbiological warfare stuff and thought that went further than anyone thought\nthe President would go. Doty said he was please with it. K said we didn't\nneed any support on it but the reason why it would be helpful, as Doty\ncould appreciate fox from his own experience, alot of blood had to be\nspilled on this one. It would be helpful if one could demonstrate to the\nPresident there is some resonance since the President did something where\nthere is no obvious political interest. K added that he had no personalik\ninterest in this either. Doty said he thought that was good. His own view\nis that the use of harrassing gases xxx on the battlefield, we can't expect\nmuch to happen until the war is over. But to abolish it all to gether\nis\nmore than Johnson or Kennedy even considered doing K added. Also that\nwe\njoined\nthe\nGeneva protocol Stennis and Rivers werent' jumping\noff\nthe\ntables on that one. K said -- SO if some of Doty's friends could call\nattention it would help. He was not asking for anything spectacular.\nDoty wanted to know that the same group would be down on December 18\nif K wanted to see them. K said he fully expected to and asked if they\ncould have a paper telling him where they can help out.\nDoty asked if there was anything out of Helsinki. K said no -- it has gone\nahead an a very careful way which he xxxxxixtexxe considere important that\nit is non-exciting.\nDoty mentioned that Bob Kleiman had XX called him. Evidently Kleiman\ntalked to John Foster and Foster let the upgrading out. He said that we\nhad communicated to the Russians beat we didn't consider MIRV moritorium\nunless large numbers were either destroyed or put under inspection.\nK\nsaid that was totally untrue. Kleiman got very excited and didn't know\nwhat was going on. Doty said he thought Foster was working the other side\nof the tracks. K said there was no question about that.\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."
