Mr. Kissinger/Bill Safire
7:50 p.m., October 16, 1970
- 2 -
S:
Lay off for three months. You have had tremendous success
with this. If you suddenly go to David Frost, it can't be as good.
K:
Don't say things like that; you know my ego.
S:
I would hold off on Frost.
K:
I think you are right.
S:
Until around Christmastime.
K:
In time for the next Tet offensive. I can stagger on and,
drooling a bit, say
You know, in this show, I wanted to say, "I
could never achieve all I do without Rogers' assistance. "
Later call: 8:10 p. m.
K:
Bill, see if you can reduce the speech to 2600 words it is
presently about 3000 words. Will you keep that in mind? But the
last two pages you can't touch. x You can cut all that garbage about
racial XXX equality. I have Winston Lord sitting here; he is a bigot
in reverse. He doesn't like white people.
S:
You have my mouth watering -- I'm dying to see the speech.
K:
If we can keep them awake until the last two pages, we will
have it made. It is a good rhetorical speech which is all he wanted.
It has a few substantive proposals.
