The President/Mr. Kissinger
April 13, 1971, 8:00 p. m.
K:
Oh, yeah, he understood it and he said that Dobrynin was coming
back Sunday with new instructions and that we should take the
Brezhnev speech very seriously and he was slobbering all over me.
P:
Good. We'll see Sunday what he told
.
K:
And then I did something which was a little unorthodox, I told him
that Dobrynin had given me his phone number in Moscow.
P:
Um-humm.
K:
And I had lost it, so he called me an hour later and said it might
be a nice thing if I called Dobrynin and congratulated him on his
Central Committee membership.
P:
Good, do it.
K:
In fact I did it. And Dobrynin said we'll have something on that
exchange of letters when I come back.
P:
He said that.
K:
Yeah, but he didn't say what it was.
P:
Yeah.
K:
And he also said he was coming with new instructions.
P:
But not indicating anything on the SALT?
K:
No. Well, he couldn't, Mr. President, on an open telephone.
P:
Oh, it was open telephone, okay.
K:
Yeah, we don't have a secure line well, we have the hot line but
I didn't want to use that.
P:
Right.
K:
This was a commercial phone.
P:
Good. How did he sound?
