Mr. Kissinger/Ambassador Dobrynin
10:43 a. m., May 27, 1971
- 2 -
D:
My understanding is they would concentrate on ABM and when
a substantial part is completed, continue on ABM and then proceed with
the other one. That was my understanding which I sent to Moscow.
K:
What sort of ABM agreement, whether it would be capitals, or
what else
D: ]
I didn't go into details. I didn't send what kind -- SALT or
what else. It was a simple understanding -- not a specific question.
K:
We don't have to settle it this minute. The major thing is it
would be very helpful if we ended the session tomorrow on a positive
note. Nothing can be accomplished by recording disagreement tomorrow.
If you could get that word to Semyonov. I will show Smith's cable to you
when you come.
D:
It will be 11:30.
K:
And in my office. We have Arabs running all over the place.
D:
Between the Executive Building and your office.
K:
Do you think there's time enough to get word to Semyonov?
D:
I don't know whether
when are they meeting?
K:
In the morning.
D:
It's now 11:00. In Moscow, it's 7:00.
K:
That is why I am calling you to see if you could do something.
D:
There's no problem to send a telegram. I'm just counting the
hours really.
K:
The only result of it will be we will go through our records --
we make a formal statement, and you make a formal statement. That
way, we start with a legalistic argument.
D:
I will try to have time to tell him.
K:
Can you send it now? You can come a few minutes late to see me.
D:
I will send it now.
K:
That is why I called you.
