The President
Dec 4, 1971; 10:50 a. m.
P: How is the battle going today?
K: On the matter we discussed last evening, how to handle getting it
to the Security Council, we followed your instructions and it turned out
to be exactly right. It appealed to Bill when he understood he would
be way out in front again.
P: On the announcement?
K: Yes. We have agreed to the day's line-up. Take it there about Noon.
State will put out an announcement and Bush will call the Council.
P: Good. Well, he took it without complaint?
K: With agreement, SO there is no problem.
P: The more I thought about it it was the only way to happen. He is
a damn fool to go there. The State Department is trying to think of
a way for them to get credit. But you don't get credit except by
succeeding. I can see why they got Johnson in such a mess having them run
around to all the countries. They don't understand this other thing.
K: Absolutely.
P: Anything new on the fighting itself?
K: It is getting clear the Indians are the attackers.
P: Is that getting through on the press?
K: I am getting with the intelligence people at 11:00 and then getting
Scali to put it out.
P: Turn Scali loose on this and on knocking the silly thing Church said
down.
K: We have had an urgent appeal from Yahya. Says his military supplies
have been cut off - in very bad shape. Would we help through Iran.
P: Can we help?
K: I thinkif we tell the Iranians we will make it up txtx to them we can do it.
P: If it is leaking we can have it denied. Have it done one step away.
Do you have to go through MacArthur to do it?
