Mr. Kissinger
Don Rumsfeld
10/12/70; 8:15 p.m.
R: Someone in my shop is trying to hire someone from your shop.
K: Over my dead body !
R: That's what I thought. Let's try to trace some history -- I remember
you said the world would fall apart if we hired that other guy. This guy's
name is Bob Sansom.
K: He is the other guy's second man. He is Larry Lynn's second man.
R: Is that right! What does that say about my recruiters -- they have
superb
K: It's the one irreplaceable shop I have -- did all the analytical work
on which the ceasefire is based. Has he said he would take it?
R: No.
K: He would not leave me -- he wants to be with a maniacal boss; you
are tookind. I don't want to lose him.
R: John W
wants to make Sansom head of our research for
OEO. What if he wants to leave
K: Listen, I don't believe in giving my people a free choice (laughter).
Let me talk to Haig -- can I call you in 24 hours. If it is really a
promotion I won't stand in his way. I will blackmail him in other ways.
But, there is something about the Air force.
R: We have our whole staff ready for Tuesday night. Don't tell me
you don't know what is going on Tuesday night ! !
K: I have my whole staff ready, too!
