TELCON
Eagleburger/Vest/Kissinger
10:17 a. m. 2/8/74
E:
Vest is here with me, McCloskey is stranded somewhere between here
and home.
Let me put George on.
K:
I've decided not to do it.
E:
The biggest problem now is given the weather, we couldn t get camera
crews in here.
K:
I don't think we can get anything useful, because if I state very
ambitious aims, then the conference is a failure, then if I state
very modest aims, the Europeans will shout hurray, we agree
completely and then the conference will be a success in public
and a failure in substance, but if he wants a backgrounder, I'm
W
willing to do that.
E:
George is on the phone, what do you think?
V:
Sir, I would recommend a backgrounder done by maybe McCloskey
K:
What does he know about energy?
V:
He had been sitting in on the conference arrangements
--if not then I think we should do a backgrounder with you.
K:
What time?
V:
Are you tied up in the afternoon
K:
I can change that--what would be a good time
V:
Ideally--3:30 this afternoon
K:
All right let's do it 3:30--whom would you invite?
V:
American correspondents
K:
All of them
V:
American regulars--2 dozen-30
K:
How can I get away with a backgrounder with them
V:
This is why I originally said McCloskey, because it is almost impossible
fo do a backgrounder for you and have it not be a major thing--you are
too significant
