Secretary Irwin
Mr. Kissinger
5:30 pm, 1-8-71
I:
Where do I find you?
K:
Back here. I just arrived.
I:
Henry, I have a couple of things but the principal item is the
thing with the Soviets vis-a-vis the bombing and the action
by the Jewish people against the Soviet league. I wanted to
tell you what we are moving to do. First, I have the group
here to see what can be done legally, legislatively, informa-

tell you what we had done and touch base with you.

I think it is a serious situation all around and I want to take
all the action we can. My own feeling on it is that if we are
moving in this way to try to prevent acts of violence, acts
that will create problems, that we will have the support of
the Jewish Community and there has been a letter from
Paul Weiss and they wrote, in effect, a letter of support to
Charlie Yost. That is the situation to date and I just wanted
to let you know.
K:
I think it is essential Jack.
I:
We are coming up with a paper.
K:
Jack, I have talked to the President about Micronesia position
and he would like Gullion to be the man. He is an Ambassador.
He had some income tax problem but we would like to re-
habilitate that. Would you move on that?
I:
I think we cannot. This originates outside of State. Russell
in Interior has asked that we hold off until we have a meeting.
I think they are a little sensitive about having an Ambassador
to negotiate with people who are not a foreign country. I
