OCR Page 1 of 27Mr. Kissinger/Secretary Connally
May 15, 1971 10:00a jlj
K: Someday I am going to have a Secretary who will put me on the line first.
C: If that is the greatest problem you have you are very well off.
K: It is a question of propriety.
C: How are you coming on the Mansfield thing?
K: By our count we are even now and have a good chance. What do you
think?
C: I think it looks good.
K: This will scare the Europeans though. Even if it is defeated we can
say get busy to these guys. I do not mind scaring them just mind having
it rammed down our throats. But I think we are in good shape. John, I
hate to bug you on this Pakistani thing but I was wondering where it stood.
CX: Henry, I did a memo on it and there are two missions going over there.
I will get the memo and
send it to you. We have been talking to the Pakistanis and thought they
would have done something but they have been slow. They said they would
work out the last part of it. I think this will work out very well today or
Monday.
X K: John, that is great. One thing. Can you get your people on these missions
to take a benevolent attitude. We really need these guys for the next three
XXXXXX months and it would help.
C: Yes. I told them I could not tell them what was behind it but that it should
go through. They are talking in terms of a loan of $100 million and with another
$60 million order.
K: That is great. One more thing - the legislation on replenishment of Ida
(phonetic).
Do you think we will be able to get it?
C: We just caught hell on some of these multi institutions and have been
working out our strategy. We think we will probably have to wait until the
new fiscal year starts.
K: But we don't have to wait to submit it until then do XXX we?
C: Oh no. It is going up right away. We won't get any money for it right
away.
