TELCON U.A. Johnson/Kissinger 1:10 pm 6/18/70 K: The daily bug about Cambodia. I am just transmitting my instructions. Secondly, on the textile business the President wants to be sure the leading player is Stans. If it's settled he will get credit. He needs it for domestic reasons. J: Hell, yes. No question. No problem on that. I don't see ourselves or others or Bill Rogers getting into this unless it breaks down. K: Is Rogers planning to discuss textiles with Aichi at lunch? J: Not a bit. The purpose of the lunch was to find other things to discuss. We have to wait to see how Stans and Miyazawa work out and they are meeting simultaneously. K: I only wanted to come if textiles are to be discussed. J: I think you should come anyway. Aichi will say how bad it's been and how terribly it has affected Japanese/U .S. relations. Dave sent to me last night U.S. air in Cambodia. New instructions. I think we should think about what we will say on this. It's terrbly inportant. With the number of newspapermen around it will to not be long before this is noted. K: What should we say? J: I dont know. We haven't said anything to Phnom Pentr about this either. I don't quite see how we can operate. I don't know what the situations are and the intelligence information on the targets I just don't see how it will operate without that. K: You have a good point. J: It seems to me K: How can we get a press policy? J: Let me give is some thought. I haven't an answer. I have to review what he has said previously. I have a general idea. We have to look exactly at what he has said. I thought you might think about it. You mgiht want to be prepared to act and act immediately with one voice. I am mentioning it as a point and I will try to get something together on it. K: I will be out of here for a while. J: You age going to Mexico. Have a good trip. K: I will see you Monday.
