    "ocrText": "The President/Mr. Kissinger\n- 6 -\n7:59 p.m., February 5, 1973\nK:\nRight.\nP:\nDon't you think so ?\nyou pull him out of State to Camp David, that\nwill just send everybody right up the wall.\nK:\nWell, I think it's the fact that my seeing him is going to drive people up\nthe wall.\nP:\nBut if you': re in New York\nWell, I know\nI see your point, yeah.\nK:\nIt may be hard to pull off Camp David now because that's been an official\ninvitation -- I mean, that they already know. But we could discuss it\nwith the people who are arranging their meetings.\nP:\nYeah, yeah. You mean, you think that you've got a problem in seeing him\nat all at Camp David because of the State thing, huh?\nK:\nNo, I have a problem So far it hasn't surfaced in the State yet. I won't\nhave trouble seeing him at Camp David. I don't think State\nP:\nI don't think we ought to have -- Basically, the official thing really concerns\nme. Well, if you see him secretly at Camp David, that's going to surface\njust as sure as hell.\nK:\nOh, no, that's going -- In either case, it's going surface. In either case,\nit has to be announced. The only point is one spins off the official visit\nand has the advantage that it keeps some of the heat on State for having\nhim here. The other at least keeps State out of it until we know what we're\ndoing. There's no chance at keeping it secret when you're dealing with\nEgyptians.\nP:\nI'm inclined to letting him go over and see State under those circumstances\nand just try to control it as well as we can, and then see him. But under\nthose circumstances, you should see him in New York and not at Camp David\nthough. I kinda like that a little better. But they know that you've invited\nthem to Camp David.\nK:\nYeah, that's the problem, Mr. President. It may be tough to do now.\nP:\nWell, it's not easy is it?\nK:\nWell, I don't think State or anyone else cares whether I see him in Camp\nDavid or some other place."
