    "ocrText": "-2-\nroute and after he had talked to Long. I know Piore very well. He\ncame to me originally on this.\nKissinger: I don't know the fathers of science very well, and I've\nhad a phone call from George Kistiakowsky, who is generally over-\nwrought right now because of Harvard, which led me to believe\nthat he was very conscious of the hurt that was being done to the\nscientists XXX, but perhaps less conscious of the problems the\nPresident has. If we do arrange this meeting for the council of the\nNational Academy there should be some magnanimity on the other\nside.\nKillian : I agree completely.\nHAK: And the three people they recommend, we aren't going to ask\nwhat their political connections are, but they shouldn't be Jerry Wiesner.\nThey should be people who command a wide sonsensus in the scientific\ncommunity. I don't even know three on the board.\nKillian: Fred Seitz is the president of the committee.\nHAK: Everyone tells me people don't have confidence in him, and\nwe should work with Hendler.\nKillian: He is an unimpressive figure, I must say. Hendler is coming\nin to that post on the first of July. Could I have a chance to look up\nthe membership of this group to see who is on it, and I will try to give\nyou another reading.\nHAK: The President's advisers have the legitimate feeling that, considering\nfrom where they have started, they've come a long way. (Killian: they\ncertainly have. ) HAK: And that scientists have not always shown full\ncompassion for them. They don't object to the position on ABM, but\nto the constant changreg of bad faith.\nKillian: No, that's not tolerable.\nHAK: Could you give some thought and call me back?\nKillian said he would.\n##\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."
