    "ocrText": "TELCON\nFlanigan/Kissinger\nmorning\n12/1/70\nF: I presume that the shoes are back in. Byrd voted without turning him around.\nI got hit by the President this morning at the Leadership meeting. We tried to\nseparate the bills and Scott asked if they were our paxilxix position. I said yes\nand the President said no.\nK: He isn't opposed as you are to the bill. You go in and face him on somethihn\nhe doesn't want and you will not get a straight answer.\nF: So shoes are back in the bill. We may or not get a bill.\nI\nK: Did you get Fannin turned around?\nF: No. On the Japanese. They came in and gave a proposal today which we\nsaid they shouldn't make. Intra-group\nWe will take unilateral action.\nThey came down on growth to 9% which is a concession. I said that was\nno\nimprovement at all. I said I would get back to them on it. I said it was no\nlonger possible for our government to remain silent. He said he hoped we\nwouldn't be specific. I said we would say we moved to get an agreement. I\nsaid he was good about it but stories coming from Tokyo were ? ? ? .\nHe\nwas shaken. I plan now to get someone from State and Stans and Neimar and\ndiscuss the response and say this is unacceptable and say go back to the\nposition outlined at the previous meeting.\nK: I think you should do it. That's my recommendation. You cannot win them\nall but it would be nice to win occasionally. I will give a course in the\npsychologyof the Presidemt sometime.\nF: I would be your best pupil. I dialn't assume he would veto the bill but we\nnever assumed it wouldn't get on his desk.\nK: I didn't assume that either. But leave us not worry. You got great nego-\ntiations going with the Japanese. At least you get a counter-proposal. I only\nget hisses."
