    "ocrText": "TELCON\nSecy Rogers\nMr. Kissinger\n3/14/69 4.25 pm\nRogers thought President's performance at Leadership Meeting\nwas masterful--almost the best he'd ever seen. HAK thought\nhis suggestion on deployment really made a lot of difference.\nHAK agreed it went beautifully, and that the opponents were\namazingly on the defensive. Rogers said Kennedy didn't even\nget the point. HAK thought they would be in for a brutal meeting --\nand was pleasantly surprised.\nRogers made some refenence to VNam statistics, and HAK\nresponded that he thought Harriman - - who was \"ginning it up 11\n--\nwas irresponsible. (apparently referred to assumption that casualty\nrate is in our control). The studies are inconclusive (study was\nmade in Defense). HAK doesn't accept the study completely it seems\nto show that most casualties occur in enemy-initiated actions. He\ndoesn't know definition of Penemy-initiated, 11\nRogers has to testify two weeks from yesterday before the\nFulbright Committee and he wants to get briefed on this pretty\ncarefully.\nRogers asked if they were going to talk about \"this 18-nation\ndisarmament committee\" at the meeting in the morning. HAK said\nhe will have very brief report from Laird and Wheeler. He is going\nto try to induce him to move it to the end of the meeting. One hour\nmaximum.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
