TELECON
Jerry Weisner/Mr. Kissinger
7:15 m. , May 7, 1970
W:
I have two things: we are -- every college administrator --
is struggling like hell to keep the great bulk of the campuses from
being taken over by a very small, very violent group.
K:
I know.
W:
This weekend will be tough -- mighty bad. Is there any kind
of word coming out of the President in the Press Conference tomorrow?
K:
Unfortunately, the press conference is after your meeting --
it's at 10:00 p. m.
W:
Will there be some kind of statement that he is hearing these
students?
K:
Just for your information, and we are not going to announce
this until tomorrow, so don't leak it -- we are appointing Heard from
Vanderbilt as a special advisor to the President and contact with the
campuses -- he will, in turn, appoint a small group, including students.
W:
If the President could say he realizes this is half of the
American youth and that he is hearing them. I know the problem.
K:
I will have some influence over the statement; I will do my
damndest = we all have to try to keep this together. We can argue
later about how we got here.
W:
I think it started in 1946.
K:
We have been through too many things together to argue about
that now.
W:
I talked with Len Garment concerning the thing about which I
wrote you.
K:
I didn't know you talked to Len.
W:
I mentioned Jerry Lester he was SO upset about the drug
thing. I called you and found you were away, so I called Len. There
has been a lot of talk back and forth. I didn't expect the trouble to
be starting this soon.
