TELCON
The President/Mr. Kissinger
P:
Right.
K:
So they are going back at it again today.
P:
To get a Resolution that they can all approve.
K:
Right, which will be impossible unless it's anti-Pakistan because the
Russians will veto it.
P:
see.
K:
If it's anti-Pakistan, the Chinese will veto it.
P:
(Laughter) You know, this, Oh, Boy. But anyway, you feel a little
better about what our position is.
K:
Right. Now, what the Russians this morning have launched a blistering
attack on Pakistan in TASS and in affect, have warned the Chinese
against getting involved. What we are seeing here is a Soviet-Indian
power play to humiliate the Chinese and also somewhat us.
P:
Yeah, yeah.
K:
I think we ought to have a meeting of some of your key advisors
tomorrow. I know you've got your day pretty full with the television
taping. The reason I mention it is because Rogers has been talking
about how we are sacrificing; he's on this Chinese kick again.
P:
Sacrificing what?
K:
Well, our position to China and he wants a careful consideration;
what good do all these moves do. Of course, the opposite --
P:
What move would he make then himself?
K:
I asked exactly this question. He says he is just raising questions,
he's not giving answers; these are questions he wants to have considered.
P:
Okay, I'll consider them.
K:
I think if we don't, there will be leakages that we just acted impetuously.
P:
Well, let's see we could do something around --
K:
You've got him on the schedule at 2:30 anyway.
