Secretary Kissinger indicated that other countries had been approached
to take some of the refugees but that about 90% of them will come
to the U.S.
Mr. Rumsfeld observed that the White House, DOD and State had been
conducting Congressional liaison; that there would be a bipartisan
meeting today and a press briefing.
The President stated that Secretary Kissing er would give the briefing
and requested that no one speak out until then. He stressed the
importance of speaking with a single voice.
Secretary Morton asked if most of the refugees were white collar.
Secretary Kissinger indicated that it was difficult to say, but that
certainly many were.
Secretary Morton indicated that perhaps a substantial number (5000)
might be resettled in the Pacific Trust Territories where their politica
skills might be used.
Secretary Kissinger stated that that seemed like a good idea.
The President agreed and told Secretary Morton to get hold of Ambassador
Brown and discuss it.
Secretary Morton responded that he could explore the issue quickly.
Secretary Coleman observed that since so much of the President's Joint
Session address on Foreign Policy had beenaimed in large part toward
ensuring stability during evacuation, would he now be ready to give
another foreign policy speech.
The President indicated that there would be a follow-up at the appropriate
time. He then adjourned the meeting at 10:20 a.m.
