TELCON
Amb. Dobrynin/Mr. Kissinger
9:35 a. m. , April 22, 1973
K:
Anatol, you just can't stay away from me.
D:
Of course not. I just received a telegram from Gromyko. Brezhnev
would like to inform the President just for his information that this
agreement reached with Brandt that Brezhnev will visit West Germany
beginning from 18th to 22nd of May.
K:
All right. 18th to the 22nd of May. We won't do any bombing in Germany
during that period.
D:
I hope you will not. And your speech will be encouraging (laughter). I
mean, Iknow tomorrow you are going to make a speech
K:
Frankly, it doesn't affect anything in East-West relations. Almost
entirely addressed to internal Western relations.
D:
Internal? Yeah, I understand, relations. Well, I think after all we have
the Year of Europe. haven't we?
K:
That's what it's about. It explains the Year of Europe.
D:
Because I think
for your ideas because they are just waiting,
waiting and they would like to know exactly. So your speech will make
it clearer for opening the way for the Year of Europe. Yes?
K:
Well, I am now in the process of placing the verbs. I've got everything
else written.
D:
(laughter) All right.
K:
Basically I don't see anything in that speech that affects the Soviet
position at all.
D:
I think you are wise to
K:
I mean, it's basically a speech that we will maintain our friendship
with Europe even though we are determined to continue on East-West
relaxation.
D:
I think the knowledge -- Seriously, I think Brandt is going to go there
in their own way but in that direction so it couldn't be American
K:
It's not a controversial speech.
