    "ocrText": "TELECON\nMr. Sidey/Secretary Kissinger\nJuly 12, 1974\n9:57\nS: Hello, well, you got through the Court alright.\nK: I tell you,\nS: Didn't lose any parts at all.\nK: Two more questions and I would have confessed.\nS: Listen, Henry. I have kind of reversed field and I want to see\nwhether I can get your permission. I wanted to do a piece when all\nis said and done, when I considered all the implications that says Henry\nKissinger has really had more fun than anybody I know over these last\nyears. And I go on to say\nK: You want to kill me\nS: No, No. I am just SO delighted that you keep your humor. Here is\nwhat I've done. I said hard work, sure; moments of anger and frustration,\ncertainly, but as you have gone along this remarkable journey you have\ninjected peace and good sense and yet have cast a wry eye over all the\nsingular doings of mankind. And then I just wondered with discretion\nand that, with some of these little anecdotes that you have told us along\nthe way -- and might be used. I talk about how -- the World Soccer\nmatch and then there was a call from Elizabeth Taylor and you said\nshe wanted to give a briefing on European security Conference.\nK: She wanted to get a briefing.\nS: Get a briefing, yes. Ok. Just as a joke again.\nK: Yes, you can use that.\nS: And then that he stood fascinated on the grounds of Leonard Brezhnev's\ndachau and watched him demonstrate the collapsable glass wall around\nthe swimming pool and once he took a ride with Brezhnev at the wheel\nof a Mark IV Lincoln, the results of which are still a state secret.\nK: That's all fine."
