Mr. Kissinger/The President
3/20/70; 7:09 p.m.
-3-
P:
I
don't know if we can wait that long you can't let them vacillate.
I think they may be diddling.
K:
But they aren't getting any publicity from these talks.
P:
But they know that we won't hit them if we are talking to them.
The Laos thing should be some message to them.
K:
Oh, they will notice that. I don't know what they are up to, but
they can't just be diddling us along.
P:
Two good happened. The Brandt reception in East Germany and
the Cambodia thing. The Brandt thing has sent shivers up their back.
Can't you imagine the kind of reception I would get if I went there. I just
may go. If Brandt wanted it, I would go.
K:
The outcome would be unpredictable
you know the East German
is tough.
P:
They are much tougher than the Hungarians. Even the American
press reported the Brandt visit that way even though they hated to do it.
K:
German situation is dangerous.
P:
If it is dangerous to us, it is dangerous to the Soviets. How long
would it take them to get weapons?
K:
I would not comment on the Cambodian thing directly.
P:
I will just say we noted the change and recognized the Government
because it was selected by Parliamentary means.
K:
You might say we expect Cambodian neutrality.
P:
He may come back and take it over again -- you never know this
may be a help to us, too.
K:
The Cambodian development is a plus. The weakening of the menu
series
The B-52 strikes, keep them going. I want SAM sites hit soon.
Is the weather okay?
