Secy Rogers - Mr. Kissinger
3-13-69 12:00 N
R said he had just got a call from Cliff Case and he feels very
strongly that the President should delay decision six months and have
study group on all strategic matters. Otherwise, we will run into
a serious Congressional problem. R said he was just passing this along.
K said he has made his decision but K does not have a clear text of anything
yet. K said he would send over to R what President has before him
now, however. K said he has paper for President which makes the
strongest possible case against it, which K wants him to read
before he locks himself in - K said he owes this to him. K said when
he talked to Packard he was not opposed to a delay. There is one
option to do R&D only but that would kill it. K said even under present
program the first missile site isn't to be completed until 1973 SO we
are not rushing into something for a long time. Other possibility is
to delay. K said he will send R what he has on a personal basis.
