Mr. Kissinger: Marilyn Berger called at 9:50 to ask you a question. She said she didn't have to talk to you and that I could pass on the answer if you wished. She said Ron Ziegler at his briefing gave a breakdown of what was considered combat and combat support troops and that the President had a plan to get combat and combat support troops out of Vietnam. She said another White House source said out by 1970 and this source mentioned artillery and helicopter forces. Miss Berger's question is whether the mention of artillery and helicopter forces is correct since she thought we were going to keep those in Vietnam to help the Vietnamese forces.
