The President/Mr. Kissinger
- 5 -
7:30 p.m., July 7, 1970
P:
When they say the questions were easy, just let them try to answer.
K: You handled extremely difficult questions.
P:
The casulty thing -- talk about
K: 64 casulties in Cambodia. We might manage it better in the rainy
season, Don't think they have the strength to handle
.
P:
Have to use the power. Every day that goes by is one day less to
use the power -- want to use the power now -- don't want to say later --
if only I had used the power when I had it. Russians still respect our
power, the only question is do they respect the man that wheels it.
Will have to throw something out each week a little hawkish -- if they
hit us, bomb the hell out of them.
K: I think that is right.
P:
North Vietnam think that what we have done with Bruce
K:
Bruce was a great boom
XX
to
us.
P:
Can't take on poor old Bruce and he is a Democrat besides. What about
Porter?
K:
They would just think we were sending a foreign service officer. He
(Bruce) will be first-class.
P: Back on the therapy side, (talking about Rogers ?) . Prepare something
for me -- thought your statements were very good -- commented excellent
pictures.
