President: No. I will. I was in a hurry.
E.O. 12958,
Kissinger: I will meet with Gromyko in Geneva. We will talk SALT as
well as Middle East. They added conditions in their draft treaty (like
10 Trident). The danger is that if Jackson finds out he will say we
should add them too. I will tell Gromyko that.

Kissinger: Bitsios wants to meet me.
President: How about the Turkish reaction to that?
Kissinger: I think it is manageable. We need to make it harder to be
accused of being anti-Greek.
President: I see. And if you refused to meet him, that would get back.
Kissinger: Fascell says there is a story we engineered the OPEC
restrictions. We are institutionalizing paranoia.
The Soviet-Egyptian communique demanded an immediate Geneva
conference. The Syrian one had a date mentioned in it.
Dinitz was in yesterday. I get the impression he is out of touch.
Passman is trying to trade rice for votes.
President: He voted against us yesterday. He's scared out of his
pants -- like Mahon, etc.
Kissinger: I am giving a backgrounder today. I thought I would start
on the record with Turkey.
President: Good. We should also point out the impact on the opium
poppy business.
Kissinger: The only one who gains from this is Makarios.
We are heading for disaster in Congress. The potential now for
a powerful Speaker makes him a presidential rival. Rule by caucus
turns us into a European system. Never in American history has
Congressional government led to anything but disaster.
