TELCON Secy Rogers Mr. Kissinger 4-9-69 12:38 PM shortly R said he was going to see the King of Jordan/ and wanted to give him this word about planes - (F 104s) in principle. R said he wanted to be sure the President is o. k. on it. K said he has not looked at it yet but K's own view is that we shoud go ahead with it and asked if that was R's view. R said yes and also Lairds. (I had to get off telephone to answer intercom and when I got back on subject had shifted to Vail) K said Vail had called him this morning about Ambassadorships to Japan and Germany. K asked the President khk and the President asked K to check with R to see what he thinks about it. K said he has no view. R said he thinks it would be very bad - Vail is a lightweight. K said the President told him that he did not think Vail was interested. R said they have been talking about Gates for Germany and Armin Meyer for Japan. K said he makes no personnel recommendations unless he is asked. K said whether or not the President has told Vail he would like him to consider being Ambassador to one of these two countries, the operational problem is the same because Vail thinks the President said this to him. 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.
