    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Rogers\nxxxx 11/20/69 6:03 p.m.\nK wanted to check in with R. K said he told Alex Johnson what he knows\non what went on this morning. K said the President thinks Sato agreed\nto use his personal influence to get a comprehensive agreement. K is\nnow going to get from Stans what Stans considers a reasonable agreement,\nand Sato will take it from there. R said you want to bet? K said do I want\nto bet what, that Sato will deliver? R said he doesn't think we'll ever get\nall the minds involved together. K said he's not part of that one; he\ndoesn't have anything in his mind. K said if the Japanese gave him a\nblank piece of paper and said write what you want, it would still be blank.\nR said well we don't have to worry for the moment.\nK said Sato told the P he would see that the Geneva talks led somewhere\nK said he even made a rather concrete proposal. Sato said we should\nagree in Geneva, keep the agreement secret, then the Japanese would\ncall a GATT meeting at which to say what we agreed on in Geneva. R\nsaid he's got a problem, because his Diet says he can't enter into dis-\ncussions. R said they are willing to enter into it when we can show\nthat American industry has been harmed. R said you know that would\nbe quite a while. K said the P's impression is that Sato is willing to go\nfar as long as it's after the election. R said well, we still have a lot of\nbargaining power. R said we must get congressional approval. K said\nthe P has broken his back to meet his commitment. R said we have lots\nof ways to put pressure on if necessary.\nK said he had talked to Laird and Wheeler to make sure that they would\nsupport the P. K said we are going to have a tough time. K said\nthat Stennis, Margaret Smith and\nwere going to be tough on\nreversion. R said that wes surprising about Smith, but he guessed she\nwas just sticking to the military line. K said but Wheeler said he would\nbe there and support us.\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."
