TELECON
Secretary Laird/Mr. Kissinger
12:15 p. m., August 12, 1971
L:
Something came up over here.
I haven't cut in all the people
at State -- Sullivan hasn't been briefed as far as the logistics build-up
in Vietnam. Dave was in the WSAG meeting the other day and didn't
think he should point out we were transferring the A-1's by September.
K:
You can't do that. That was not to be done!
L:
The President's order that I received said transfer those
aircraft pr ogrammed by 1972.
K:
It was not the intention to take them away from Laos.
L:
You are sure of that?
K:
I am positive, but I will check.
L:
These are in Thailand.
K:
I am positive this was not his intention.
L:
I interpreted it.
but it needs no interpretation
that all those
planned for delivery to South Vietnam
K:
I am sure the President didn't focus on this. He meant equipment
in Vietnam.
L:
Only equipment in Vietnam? We are transferring a lot of stuff
from the U. S.
K:
That's all right -- but not from Laos.
L:
I have 22 ships loading. But Dave felt he shouldn't discuss it
with the WSAG group.
K:
That was good of Dave, but I am sure he didn't mean taking
away from Laos. You had better cancel that part of it.
L:
We better get to the Vietnamese. I think we should sit down
and go over the logistics movements I am making.
K:
We better do that. Let me get back to you this afternoon.
