TELCON
Governor Rockefeller
Mr. Kissinger
12:35 pm, 12-26-70
R:
Hello Henry.
K:
I am sitting in my office looking at that sculpture. It is very
nice.
R:
Aren't you nice. I hope you like it.
K:
What I called you about was this. We thought on this intelligence
study that first of all there is almost no way it can be done by
asking the agencies to study themselves and secondly, duplica-
tion of mechanisms would be too cumbersome for FIAB to start
from scratch on. We have formed a group of Shultz's people
and my people and we want to use FIAB as a parent organization
and within FIAB the President is hoping you will help us push it.
This is something in which Navy blood is going to be spilled.
It does not require anything of you right now. We are setting up
a little group here to go through the process, to do the staff work.
We will feed that to FIAB and hope they will endorse it and when
we have our preliminary work done I would like to brief you on it
either here or send someone up there. We thought between you
and Baker
R:
Yes. Baker is a helluva good guy. What about Land? He is
extremely bright.
K:
Yes he is bright. Franklin Murphy is a disaster. He won't
stop talking.
R:
But we get along in our own group.
K:
Yes. The Admiral is good but on this issue it is going to be bad.
R:
What really is missing is a professional organization that would be
of a permanent character that would be under you.
K:
Strangely enough, some of the people in the OMB have come up
with the same idea.
