    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSenator Javits\n10/13/70 3:40 p.m.\nJ : I called because the news has come through this morning that the\nPresident has opted for the one percent target in the development business\nat the UN.\nK: Onee in a while youk have got to lose an argument just to prove\nyou don't win them all. But it's essentially your recommendation.\nJ: That's right. Here is the question: How are they to handle\nthis? I thought I would ask you and then go to Rogers. Rogers apparently\npassed word to the delegation that he thinks the President ought to say\nthis on the 23rd. They thought they were immediately authorized to use\nthis in private and have already done SO. If nothing is said about this\nbefore the 23rd, they may be attacked for not doing it when we are going\nto.\nBut then, if that's all the President's speech has, it would be a\nlead balloon.\nK: No, that's not all it's got.\nJ: It can come out as the President's statement. He can release it.\nThen all we do is\nK: May I check with the President and let you know tomorrow?\nJ: Yes, please do. There's another question, a totally new line-up\non China. I had lunch with the Chinese Ambassa dor and Minister of\nExternal Affairs and we discussed this subject. They are still of course\nsolidly against anything. The question is whether the U.S. may want to\nbegin to open the door\nThis is very important, especially with the\nRussians cheating the hell out of us. I am in charge of this, but don't\nwant to say anything if it's not the President's policy.\nK: What do you recommend?\nJ: I think we should do as the President has done -- begin to open\nthe door a little, give a feeling that a posture is developing. The real\nimplication of this is that the Chinese are beginning to show that they\nwant in. Our case has been that they don't want in. I think we should\nbegin to say this is a developing situation, which may bring on changes.\nK: Let me talk to the President about that one too.\nJ: Okay, but there's more urgency about the former.\nK: I'11 get you an answer on the former by tomorrow noon."
