MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
PARTICIPANTS:
President Ford
Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Secretary of State and
Assistant to the President for National Security
Affairs
Donald Rumsfeld, Assistant to the President
Lt. General Brent Scowcroft, Deputy Assistant
to the President for National Security Affairs
DATE AND TIME:
July 25, 1975
3:34 p.m.
PLACE:
Oval Office
White House
Kissinger: We have another crisis with Bergold. [Deputy Assistant
Secretary of Defense for ISA]. I wouldn't give a damn if there weren't
these leaks in Rowland Evans' column.
President: There is no need for him anywhere on the trip but Helsinki.
Kissinger: I agree. And the Radio Free Europe man going to Helsinki.
This is an outrage. I never would have let it happen.
Scowcroft: It is an issue of press censorship.
Kissinger: All my people said Kaunda would be scared to death by our
proposal [on Angola]. He was delighted.
Case wants us to withdraw the Jordan aid package. If it means they
will pass it in September, fine. If it is a way to wait and kill it or modify
it, that is something else.
Scowcroft: Case proposed originally resubmitting it at lower numbers
and then at the same dollar amounts but a different equipment mix --
more Chapparal.
