Winthrop Brown
Mr. Kissinger
2/12/69 9:30 a. m.
HAK asked Winthrop Brown (acting for Bill Bundy, who was out of
country) what the mechanism is for dealing with emergencies that
might arise in Vietnam when the President is out of the country.
Was there no formal Interdepartmental group that exists, dealing
with VNam ? Brown said there is such a working group, headed
by Calhoun (in Bundy's absence), who deals directly with Secy or
Under Secy. They would alert Pres. immediately. HAK asked if
we want to make some plans before we leave, would we therefore
deal with Calhoun? Brown said, no, deal with Secy or Under Secy.
Brown said when the President is out of town, they repeat all key
messages.
HAK said he was asked what plans we can make ahead of time, but
he agreed we just use the existing plans, and all we have to do is
determine whether an emergency exists. Brown repeated that
the President and HAK will be kept fully informed. The "White House 11
is wherever the President is.
