    "ocrText": "TELCON\nSecy Rogers\nMr. Kissinger\n6-4-69\n6:55 PM\nR said he thought it was up to both of them to keep the other constantly\nadvised about press conferences and what they say, etc. K said he\nsent it over to R the same evening. R asked if K was going to have\none this week on Friday. K said no - there had been some thought about\nit but he is not going to do it. R asked if there was anything he should\nbe careful about tomorrow - not saying anything on troop replacements,\nhe will just duck completely. R asked what he should say about purpose\nof meeting and K said it was to plan stragegy - review Vietnamization of\nwar. R said on coalition, he will say what he did in his backgrounder\n.\nR said he did not mean to hurt K. K said Bob said R said that it was\ndefinitely pinned down and clear that it came from K. R said these\nwere not leaks, just came from the three of us - R, K and Richardson.\nR said this is quite different. K said on a number of occasions when\nPres read something about Elliot in press briefings, K told him it was\nmisrepresented. K said he thought Chal Roberts came out of conversations\nwith both Elliot and K. Whatever he misrepresented, he drew from\neveryone. K said in any event, when he has opportunity to play role\nwith President it is to ease his concerns and CXIXIX suspisions rather\nthan to pin them on someone. R said if we do our job right there are\nbound to be some soxtx store he will not like - you cannot do it any other\nway. R said he thought the Roberts story helped rather than hurtus\n-\nwhoever is responsible did not hurt the Administration. R said he told\nPres he should not react SO quickly. R said Fulbright make a rough\nattack on Pres today. R said he really is sorry, he did not mean to hurt K.\nKx R said these jobs are tough enough without this. K said he does not\ntake their problems to the Pres, R can be sure of this.\njm\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."
