TELCON
General Scowcroft - Secretary Kissinger
December 6, 1973
4:40 p.m.
(missing first part)
S:
begging Larry to have an answer over here.
K: He arrived last night. Why wasn't I called, wasn't it called to
my attention. He came the morning of the 4th, is there any
reason I couldn't have been told that morning of the 5th.
S: No, no there isn't any. Well, the CIA hadn't seen him at that
time.
K: Are they conducting our foreign policy?
S: They wanted to check to see if he really had anything to say.
They met hikm, greeted him,
K: The memo says that he arrived last night. This was written
on the 5th.
S: That's right.
K: So the CIA saw him the evening of the 4th, it is now the 6th.
S: On the 5th I said do you want to see him and you didn't do
anything.
K: I didn't see it.
S: Yes you did, you checked off all the other items.
K: Well, I didn't focus on it. What's the sensitive group at the
White House at 10:00 ? This just can't be. Now you've got the
Chinese on the schedule.
S: Oh, I know what that is. Do you have to see the South Vietn Narese?
K: Yes.
See if the Libyan can come to the White House at L0:00.
S: Right, tomorrow morning.
K: Never again is this to be done this way. Maybe we can have him
later tonight, around 10:00. It is unbelievable what is going on here.
