Secretary Rogers
12/22/69 4:57 p.m.
R: On the Cyrus Eaton thing, he wants to see the President,
me, or you. I think we should coordinate it; no more than one should.
I am willing to do it if you want.
K: You're welcome to it.
R: He's a senile old windbag, but having him in the White House
bothers me.
K: He's
It S
If you think this doesn't escalate him to
too high a level.
The P shouldn't see him and I don't want to.
R: Then only trouble with your seeing him is it gets him in the
White Hosue. He says he's got a secret message from the other side.
I don't want to see him, but I don't want anybody to say we didn't give
a chance to someone who had a message.
K: I can't see why they should give him a message when they've
got Xuan Thuy in Paris.
AR: I think I should tell him if he's got a message I'll see him and
give it to the President.
K: Would you call me and tell me what his message is?
R: Yes, but don't hang by your toes.
K: I just don't want you and Eaton ending the war without my knowing
about it.
