Amb. Raza/Mr. Kissinger
7:00 p.m., December 3, 1971
K:
Are you and I going to write a book on the bureaucracy together?
Get that cable -- I was asking General Haig who is sitting here
with me. Will you call us before -- if you get an answer, call us
before you call my colleagues.
R:
I don't understand.
K:
When you get an answer from Islamabad, before you call Sisco
call us.
R:
K:
That's probably true.
R:
And he said that he never said that.
K:
Hold on a second and I will read it to you. I hope you understand
that I'm not dragging my feet. We just want to do what your
President wants. The minute you give us the word, we will go
to the Security Council. Have you talked to
?
R:
Yes, he has instructions not to move yet. There are other activities
going on and must take orders from the Government.
K:
Think it is a good idea by tomorrow it will be more clear.
I

R:
No doubt in my mind.
K:
At 4:30 in the afternoon attacking the airfield
R:
That I am convinced in my mind.
K:
I can't find it (the cable) right now in this mess of an operation
I'm running. I will read you the text tomorrow.
R:
I said to him very clearly and he said he never said that.
K:
I will read you the text as soon as I can find it.
R:
CBS said something tonight that was most interesting which
I protested. Marvin Kalb went on and said that Secretary Rogers
had summoned Ambassador Raza of the Pakistan Embassy and
asked that Pakistan
especially with
brains built in the U.S.
