TELCON
Foreign Minister Rabasa - Secretary Kissinger
December 3, 1973
4:15 p. m.
R: I wanted to talk with you to see if its suitable for you. I am
thinking of making the meeting in Febrary, the 17th to the 24th,
on the understanding that the 17th, a Sunday, the Foreign Ministers
would arrive to discuss whatever they have to discuss and propose
whatever they wish on the 18th, 19th and 20th and then if you could
be SO kind as to arrive for the 21st, 22nd and 23rd and go back to
your business on the 24th.
K: OK.
R: We are not sure but we are now going to go ahead, but whether
it will be Mexico City or Acapulco. Acapulco has problems.
K: It has problems?
R: Well, it has problems with water, there isn't enough water, and
other things. We would have to make a big investment and it would
be an unnatural thing.
K: Well, it's entirely up to you.
R: Thank you Henry. The only thing to be sure
I am going to
write the Foreign Ministers and the Ambassadors. it is all right
for you to arrive the evening of the 20th and leave the 24th, or leave
whenever you wish.
K: Are you telling me I have to leave right after
?
R: No, no, you can stay as long as you please, 1 month, 4 months
K: Thank you, I am thinking of working with people I like.
R: Henry, I received the photo from McBride but the one I would like
is the one taken when you were still here in Mexico. You know the
one, we are sort of embracing.
K: I will get it for you.
R: So, I am going to officially say you have accepted to stay with
us the 21st, 22nd and 23rd, leaving whenever you want. Thank you
very much and a big embrasso. Please tell me exactly how you are
arriving SO I can be there to meet you. It will give me a fine excuse
