    "ocrText": "Telecon\nProfessor Doty\n11:45 a. m.\n11/26/69\nDoty asked if K was satisfied with the responses yet. K said now they are\nbeginning to nit-pik on tear gas. K said if this leads now, at the rafification\nhearing, to pressure on that, it is going to be counterproductive. There is\njust no chance of doing the other until we get the war in Vietnam over.\nDoty said he had a call from Cyrus Eaton but wanted to call K before taking\nthe call from Eaton. K said Eaton was obnoxious and said he was negotiating\nfor Kosygin and asked what specific propositions could he make on Vietnam\nto Kosygin. Eaton asked if we were prepared to accept a coalition government.\nK told Eaton; that he would not give him any specific propositions\nthey know how to get in touch with us and if Eaton wanted to use his influence,\nhe could say we are ready when they are. K indicated that Eaton wasn't\ninterested in that very much. Eaton asked K why we are delaying. K said\nat this point the conversation wasn't very happy and Eaton accused K of delaying\na settlement. K said if Doty could sooth him a bit -- he should just not be the\nnegotiator. K said Eatons first words were, can I notv tell Kosygin that you\nwould be willing to accept a coalition government.\nDoty wanted explanation on the private meetings in Paris between U.S. and\nHanoi and wanted to know if there was something today that is any different.\nK said we couldn't have this thing on TV -- Every private meeting has been\non our initiative. They have never asked -- so they have never been refused.\nWe have not refused to talk on political issues. They have shown no interest.\nThey never mentioned private meetings until last week. K added that on this,\nthe evidence is overwhelming. K said this was not the obstacle.\nDoty said O. k.\nGoing back to the statement on biological warfare,\nDoty thought there would be more telegrams coming in. IGeorge Wall(?\nis sending one today. K said he appreciated Doty's role in this.\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."
