Ambassador Dobrynin/Mr. Kissinger
10/14/72
1:45 p.m.
AD:
Hello Henry. I just looked through the information that I received
and I would like to check with you some points. Well, in general
it is pretty close to what you said, but there are some things that
I would like to check with you. On a political side, I will just read
to --there is an agreement reached of creation of a political
structure consisting of three parts--you know
HK:
It was administrative structure-
AD:
This says a political structure.
HK:
Well, we can't accept that. My test is the agreed upon text.
AD:
It says, Henry, it was an agreed upon--no, no, I do not have a
text of agreed text--it is just a summary that they make.
HK:
No, but the text I gave you is the agreed text--
AD:
It could be--I am simply telling you what it said--as a political structure
w
which will include the Revolutionary Government, Saigon, and some
neutral political forces. You will call created a council--I translate
from Russian now--Soviets of Reconciliation and accord like this one.
Then in relation of this Council of accord, then there is about elections,
then about organization six months after elections, then this structure
must not enter into military alliance, then the right for both governments
to keep their international links, in the
about principle of reuni-
fication, then there is a lengthy page about the creation of mized two-side,
three-sides and four-sides commission and there is a function of them,
but it is not of great interest, And this is probably most interesting but
I am discussing with you personally because their summary--what is
not agreed upon, as yet. First, it has not reached an agreement upon
precise date of ceasefire
HK:
That's right. But that's minor--we'll settle that next week.
AD:
Second, it is not agreed upon the procedure of releasing the prisoners.
They say that you would like to free all your American prisoners but
at the same time not all the prisoners which are in the hands of yours
and Saigon administration.
HK:
That's that issue I mentioned to you.
