    "ocrText": "TELECON\nSenator Javits\n5/12/71 1:10pm\nJ: Let me read this to you. You can leave out the first clause if\nyou want: \"The President is requested to negotiate within NATO for\nthe assumption of greater troop levels by the other NATO members\nand financial arrangements consistent with the balance of payments\nsituation of the United States; and, to withdraw U.S. forces in Europe\nto the extent made possible by such negotiations. The President shall\nreport to the Congress in 90 days, and each 90 days thereafter, on the\nprogress of such negotiations. \" (Verbatim-- read to jlp after conversation)\nK: Which clause can come out?\nJ: The first. If you don't want to say anything about that it's okay.\nI don't think it does any harm\nK: Of course it does.\nJ: To leave it in?\nK: Yes.\nJ: Okay, then it would read this way:\n11\nK: Let me take it up with my colleagues. I want to give it the\nattention it deserves. I do not believe we are going to go along with it.\nJ: That's okay. We just wanted you to know what we are thinking.\nScott, Griffin and Stennis\nIf you don't like it just tell Scott no.\nHe may say we like this but if you don't give us something better.\nK: We'll take it up with the President.\nJ: Another thing -- I applied to the Russians for a visa. They\nare giving me hell in Isvertia. I've gotten the visa but I'm inclined not\nto go unless I get Dobrynin's and everyone's understanding that I will\nbe well received. What do you think?\nK: It depends on what you mean by everyone.\nJ: I mean that I will be reasonably received by the people I'm going\nto see.\nK: Why are they giving you hell?\nJ: They're saying I'm the Senator from Tel Avix.\nK: Don't go unless you know they will treat you respectfully."
