Z: I have a memo I'd like to go over with you. It will take 5 minutes
of your time. I've put some thoughts on paper and I'd like to have you look
at them.
K: Okay, after I see the Ambassador. What did the Secretary want?
Z: Probing around. It is his judgment that the Beecher story
didn't leak out of State. He felt it more likely that it leaked from Defense,
K: Did you tell him that Laird believes the opposite view?
Z: No. I said the President is quite conserned that this cable leaked
almost in entirely. He said I'm concerned too. I said I didn't suggest
otherwise. He asked about my press conference. I told about the foreign
invasion. He asked if the President had told me to say that. I said oh
yes, I wouldn't say something like that without guidance from the top.
It was kind of a probing but very cordial call. I think he felt that I
suggested the leak came from State. We shot that other story down.
K: Excellent.
Z: I'll be down in half an hour or check when you finish with the
ambassador.
K: Okay.
