    "ocrText": "TELECON\nLloyd Shearer\n10/5/71 6:35pm\nS: Do you have, without revealing anything, a time schedule when\nyou will be back in this country? We are thinking that New York wants\nto spend a lot of time promoting the Parade thing. Will you be back after\nthe 24th, by the 24th or before?\nK: More likely after than before. It's not fixed. What do you prefer?\nS: We prefer you to come back the day the story breaks, the 24th.\nThat is the perfect combination if you arrive that day.\nK: You would rather have me in China or back when you have that\nstory out?\nS: No, they want to say\nthere will be several radio and TV\nstations\nand they want to say something about Henry Kissinger. The\nbest timing would be when he sets foot again on American soil.\nK: For that I would have to come back on a Sunday.\nS: We wanted to find out when is the closest to that.\nK: What do you prefer?\nS: It would be better to come back after than before.\nK: To come back after the 24th would be safer than alter the 31th\nbecause that's the end of the month. I cah't tell you k but X by the terms\nof our announcement itIwould have to be back before the 31st.\nS: Then I am right to assume you will be back some time in the\nweek of the 24th to the 31st?\nK: Yes, of course these things can slip. You are not writing about this now?\nS: No, it's finished. There is nothing we can add to what you've seen.\nK: You can't take out that word \"love. 11?\nS: You must have at one time.\nK: That makes it a little strong.\nS: There are all kinds of love; surely you love her as the mother of your\nchildden.\nK: I'm more likely coming back after the 24th than after the 31st, but\nI don't want you to hold me up if it slips."
