    "ocrText": "TelCon - 13 Oct - 5:15 p. m.\nMr. Kissinger\nSecretary Rogers\nMr. Kissinger: The President has decided, as he may have told\nyou already yesterday, to give that talker on November 3. He\nthinks it would be a good idea if there were no public comments on\nVietnam until then.\nRogers: No public comments? I have to testify\nMr. Kissinger: An y chance of getting Fulbright to delay testimony\nfor a week?\nRogers: On what ground?\nKissinger: On grounds that the President would like you to testify\non the whole complex of American policy, including the President's\nspeech.\nRogers: I don't think it will work. I am afraid they will blast us\npublicly if I did that. Let's think about it. - - If we said we are\ngoing to announce something - - but if it's just to defend the President --\nKissinger: If you could do it\nI am not sure the President had\nfully considered how you would say it. I don't think he intends to\nmake any new major policy announcements. He thought it best if\nyou could avoid a full-dress testimony- and then have him sum up\nwhat's already been summed up.\nRogers: Let me think about it. We have accepted in writing you know.\nKissinger: Well there was no reason not to do it then.\nRogers: Let me think about it.\nRogers: I thought the letter was good.\nOne sentence could have come\nout: 'Nothing we could learn from what you (?) are saying\nI\nBut it\nwas a very good letter.\nKissinger: It came out well. Ray Price did it. I thought it was very good.\ndn\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."
