    "ocrText": "Mr. Kissinger/Clark MacGregor\nApril 1, 1971 11:50 a. m.\njlj\nK: I just talked to Bill Timmons and\nM: Yes I know. I don't think the O'Konski language is good.\nK: You do not see the resolution as a problem. I have a note here\nwhich says that you\nM: Someone is editorializing. I had to dictate my message to Larry\nHigby and apparently he editorialized on my comments. What I said\nwas that we should consider that this may present us a manner of\ngetting the House on record.\nK: It is my strong recommendation is get these guys out on a limb.\nI have talked with the President several times and we should fight them.\nM: It gives us a negative triumph. But that is not bad.\nK: Perhaps we can get a positive one later with this statement coming\nup.\nM: We have the vehicles to do it.\nK: Have you noticed that we have a Vietnamese cook at Camp David.\nDoes that give you a hint?\nM: Plenty of nuc mam. Yes, that gives me a hint. I wonder if the\ncherry blossoms will be out. I will be happy to go ahead and fight\nthis thing and get a negative triumph. We can get a positive one later\non. I wanted to say to you as long as I have you on the line - I am\nreflecting changing mood on the Hill with these comments. I hope the\nApril 7 statement is different in degree and different in kind.\nK: What do you mean?\nM: I will send you a memo.\nK: What do you mean kind?\nM: It should not be like his others saying that SO many troops will be\nout 6 months hence. It should be different than just number and date.\nK: Those people that want us to set a specific date.\nM: I didn't say set a specific date."
