    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Laird\n12/9/69 3:20 p.m.\nK said he has a problem on the oil import business. L said SO do I. K\nsaid this thing has been merrily cooking along and nobody has been pay-\ning any attention to the political implications. L said he just went over\nthis with Shillito this morning. K said he went over it with Schultz. K\nsaid the President hadn't focused on it before, but now he wants a delay.\nK wondered if L and the Joint Chiefs could delay it until the P has focus-\ned on it. L said sure. K said can you do that? L said sure. K said he\nhad breakfast with Rowland Evans and he suggested that L is the most\noutstanding man in government. K said he fought with him like hell on\nthat issue.\nL said on the tariff on the Middle East oil the Arabs will think we picked\ntham out as this time to put a $1.25 tariff on. L said they will raise hell.\nAnd L said our domestic producers are all against it. K said there are two\nissues: tariff anainst quota and lowering the price of oil. L said we shouldn't\nput the commission on it; it should be in the White House in OEP. K said\nwhat we've got to do is get the thing screwed up enough that the P gets some\nbreathing space.\nK said he would be seeing L on Thursday; he has anumber of things on\nthe NSC to discuss with L. K said he thinks L and Bill should talk 5 or\n10 minutes about NATO at NSC. L said make it short, it's not that sig-\nnificant. K said you and I are getting together Thursday morning; there\nare a number of things on NSC K wanted to talk about.\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."
