TELCON
Scotty Reston/Mr. Kissinger
5:32 p.m., April 9, 1973
K:
Scotty, how are you?
R:
Well, I'm pretty good.
K:
You called me a little earlier.
R:
Yeah, we agreed to get together after your holiday, which I hope was
a good one.
K:
Yes, I had a good trip.
R:
Do you want to do that interview, Henry, or do you want to forget it?
K:
No, Iwwant to do it and I will get you a -- my colleagues have been
preoccupied with other matters, as you know. I would just like to
mention it to them and I will call you within 48 hours.
R:
Yeah, sure.
Well, there's no -- I had the feeling that maybe you
thought I was being unduly --
K:
No, not a t all.
R:
I don't want to do that.
K:
No, certainly not that, Scotty. I would like to do it.
R:
This domestic thing is a bloody awful mess and --
K:
It's just that the sensitivities are SO great that I don't want to rub
salt in
R:
As a matter of fact, for another reason, that makes the philosophic
thought about other things impossible in that atmosphere anyway.
So, you know, even from our point of view, it's better to take a few
days here.
K:
Although, leaving aside what I do, four years of this poisonous
atmosphere is more than the country can stand.
R:
Oh, Henry.
K:
I mean, as you've been trying to say as you've been saying.
