TELCON
The President/Sec. Kissinger
Friday, Octo 26, 1973
4:05 p.m.
K: Mr. President.
N: It is necessary to be somewhat precise on this now. What can
we say that the United States will participate in providing
observers if requested by the Sec. Gen. I don't want to be behind
the news. I would like to be ahead of it.
K: If requested by the Sec. Gen.
N: Fine. The Soviet Union is sending unilaterally. Are we going
to object?
K: They cannot do anything until the Sec. Gen. asks for them.
N: Henry, I am getting at this. It is already in the news.
To the effect that Soviet Union is sending observers and has asked
us to.
K: We have responded to that -- We have to avoid, Mr. President,
--
they are pouring people in there and calling them observers and they
have to be observed.
N: I am trying to see what we say tonight.
K: The US is -- we think a small number of US observers -- we
are prepared if the Sec. Gen. asks for them and we have every
reason to believe this is what will happen.
N: This is being discussed now and we think it will be work worked
out this way. And that can be said.
K:
Yes Mr. President.
N:
Thanks, Henry.
