    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Rogers\n7:00 p. m.\n11/4/69\nRogers wanted to discuss three things.\n#1 - There is a draft cable to Lodge that cites the percentages in the last\npoll. He didn't think we should do that but should just refer to it as a\ngeneral poll XM to the press. K said there was a new poll that was very\nfavorable which he said he would send over to Rogers. What the President\nhad in mind was to show the tremendous public support and this poll shows\nthat only 12% were in favor of moritoriums. Rogers thought it would be\nO. k. in press background and K agreed with him.\n#2 Rogers wanted to know what this Ash report meant. He is recommending\nsome sort of super-foreign affairs department that would supercede bath\nRogers and K. K said he saw the Ash report as it applied to domestic\npolicy and in effect, he recommended an organization similar to what exists\nin the NSC structure. Rogers said Ash was recommending a foreign policy\nsuper agency who would coordinate everybody elses work. K said he didn't\nmind coordinating others work but when it came to baxe people coordinating\nhis work, it wasn't good. Rogers thought Haig was aware of this. K said\nAsh did not discuss R this with his staff other than a short meeting K had\nwith Ash in San Clemente when K explained the NSC structure. It was K's\nimpression that the recommendation was for the domestic area, but a\nsuper foreign affairs department is a mistake and it is not really what the\nPresident wanted.\n#3 - There is a cable from Stockholm 3456 which refers to a discussion\nRogers had with the Foreign Minister of Sweden and in turn with the Amb.\nof Vietnam. He would like to be helpful. He said we had done enough, he\nwas serious about the negotiations and that the other side ought to do\nsomething about it. He talked of the President's speech and also said\nthat it was his personal conclusion that he wasn't conveying any message )?\nK said he would send it separately to the President so he would be sure to\nread it.\n(Cable attac hed)\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."
