TELCON Clark Clifford Mr. Kissinger 3-17-69 7:20 PM C said before K started talking, he wanted to say that K has been doing magnificently - trip was a great success and decision on ABM was an excellent one. The feeling in the country is confidence in the manner in which the Administration is going about its task - it is exceedingly impressive and will be so useful and productive in the rough times ahead. K said he has heard so much about C's speech at the Council and wondered if there was any chance of getting a text or something he could show to the President. K said C could be sure it would be used in the strictest confidence and would be just for the President. C said Fish at the Council had asked him to do a piece for the Quarterly so speech was taped with the thought that it might be used as basis for article if and when C did it. C has tape and his girl is transcribing it. C said he would be glad to have the President and K read it. K said he promises not to show it to anyone other than those authorized by C and right now that is the President and K. C said he had told Fish before doing anything about the article he would have to talk to K about it - the main purpose of publishing such an article would be to assist the present Administration in the performance of its duties. C said he was just giving one person's experience and it is this Administration xjxax that will have to make the decision. He had told Fish if it would be valuable to the Administration, he would publish, but if they were to decide under all the circumstances (whatever they might be at the time) the timing was not good, he would not publish. C and K discussed getting together - talked about dinner on Thursday night. If K does not have to go to Calif with President, they might meet on Saturday morning. C said he would keep his time flexible and K. said he would call him before noon tomorrow o jm Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.
