TELCON
Mr. Kissinger/Tom Braden
7:31 p. .m., April 6, 1971
B:
Are you okay?
K:
I am great.
B:
I have been worried about you. Totally apart, off-the-record, the
last couple of weeks haven't been very good and I said to Frank I
wondered how you made it.
K:
You are very sweet.
B:
I have a very simple request, would you go on television on Friday
for taping for a show on Sunday saying why the President did this.
K:
I don't think I better do it, really think I would be in more trouble.
B:
I understand but we wouldn't --
K:
If I were ever to do it again, I would do it with you.
B:
Frank and I --
K:
Oh, no, you would be sympathetic and you would be friends, you
wouldn't roll over and play dead but you wouldn't embarass
me either. I am okay but I don't think I should do it.
B:
I thought that would be your answer, that would be my answer, but I
really had to ask you or I really wouldn't be doing my job.
K:
I understand.
B:
Thank you.
