    "ocrText": "-3- -\nC:\nWell, when are you all going to learn? I'll say this, Dr. Kissinger,\nyou know, by god, the relative trust that you place in the departments\naround here. They had all this yesterday and I've got it today.\nAnd right now there's someone standing outside my door ready to\ntake it back after I read it.\nK:\nListen, you got the full rundown on that. We are trapped. They\nhad to notify some foreign governments so we had to tell them\nlast night SO they could draft the cables. They haven't seen the\nfull text of the speech that's why the report is inaccurate. If we\nnotified the foreign governments they would say the White House\nis running everything.\nC:\nOne other thought, back on page 17 you say, \"We are ready to\nnegotiate peace immediately on the generous possible terms. 11\nI would leave out \"on the most generous\" and I would say, \"We\nare ready to negotiate peace immediately. 11 It is generous -\nmaybe it's too generous.\nK:\nI would say it goes to the most absolute limit in my most honest\nopinion.\nC:\nOutside of those, I think it's good. Whether it will have an impact,\nI think it will. They cant really get much ahead of you with this\nleak.\nK:\nNo, I think it's an outrage. What they will do after the time is\nannounced is, the other people will go back and look at the Brooke's\nstatement and assume that's what it is and\ntheir responses\naccordingly. That's the only danger, but I don't think it's that great.\nC:\nThey wouldn't have known what was coming.\nK:\nI think it will be terrific. I don't know how the\nto do\nanything, but\nThey will find a way. Their dishonesty is equal\nto the occasion\nC:\nWell, they will do their damndest, but I think it will be very well\nreceived. When are you going to announce the time?\nK:\nSoon. And I know you are not pressing, but all of these changes\nwill be made."
