TELECON
Mr. Kissinger/Ambassador Dobrynin
11:55 a. m., April 29, 1972
D:
You are still here?
K:
You are making me go to dinner tonight when I have options
which are more attractive.
D:
I want to make a proposal at the beginning of dinner.
K:
Your proposals always deprive me of any real options.
D:
You taught me how to find a compromise.
K:
You better be friendly to me tonight or they will think we
had a bad fight in Moscow.
D:
I will make the concession.
K:
I will let you have on Monday the rough estimate on figures.
We are working on it this weekend, but by Monday noon, I will let
you know.
D:
I won't ask you across the table tonight.
K:
Anatoliy, we have the German problem I want to discuss. Our
information is that the CDU may be looking for a way out of the German
treaties.
D:
Barzel?
K:
If we can get the votes delayed a little bit.
One way is by
looking for a face-saving formula by which there can be a minor
concession. They want language from us asking for the restoration
of bipartisanship in Germany. We are asking Brandt if he wants us
to do it. We are also asking you.
D:
I will have to check.
K:
We have not answered the communication from Barzel. He
is proposing that we in some form write him and say we hope he
restores the spirit of bipartisanship.
