    "ocrText": "TELCON\nJohn McCloy/Sec. Kissinger\nThursday, February 8, 1974\n11:10 a. m.\nK: Jack.\nM: Hello.\nK: How are you?\nM: O.K. How are you. Hope you are well.\nK: I have had the flu but I am back on my feet.\nM: Sorry to hear that. You have a lot on your plate for the next couple of weeks.\nK: I certainly have and I just wanted to have a very brief chat with you.\nM: Right. Do you want me to come down.\nK: I don't know yet what my situation will be over the weekend. What is yours?\nM: I was going up -- I have a weekend place in Connecticut but it is\nalways easy to get away. I am just going up for the weekend -- Sat. and\nSun. there.\nK: I will call you later.\nM: I had a cala the other day from Shep Stone.\nK: A good man. A fine man.\nM: He is bubbling over because he has been bustling around the European\nscene. He says he has a lot of dope. He spent time in Bonn and in London\nand it is all sort of preparatory to the Feb. 11 business. I am having lunch\nwith him today. He sent me a long letter. He says he has a lot of under-\ncover chatter he has heard from the second and third rounds of the Foreign\nOffices as to what the European attitude should be towards this thing.\nHe says they are also in shambles. It is in ruins there -- the United\nEuropea business. I might pick up something.\nK: The basic problem we are having is that the French are doing in the\nenergy field what they did in the Atlantic Declaration and everything else.\nThis time no one can say we did not consult. No one can say we were\nnot generous. We want nothing from them but the same as in the Marshall\nPlan -- cooperation on the structure. We are reaching the point now where\nwe feel if it does not work we will have to take on the French in an all out\nconfrontation. It will hurt the Community. We cannot have the Community\norganized against us as XIX anti-American."
