    "ocrText": "TELCON\nAmbassador Sullivan\nMr. Kissinger\n10:37am, 1-10-70\nS said Henry I have two or three things - first is the paper we sent\nover on consultations with the Australians. K said that has been\napproved - I think on Wednesday - by the President. S said find.\nThe second thing is I don't know whether Phil called you. He has\ntwo questions on his mind. In this ploy about restricted sessions\nand the question of frequency, he needs guidance as to how much the\nPresident wants to string it out. K said what is your thinking?\nS said I told Phil maybe four or five weeks. He (Phil) raised another\nquestion of whether Ellsworth is coming back and the two of them\nbeing here. K asked \"is Ellsworth coming back?\" S said not for\ngood but to talk about for good. That is what he wants to talk about.\nK said I don't think there is a great urgency to discuss it now.\nThe President is thinking in terms of June for Ellsworth. We will be\ndelighted to see Phil at any time regardless. S said if he comes in\nat the end of the month it wouldprovide him context of the meetings\nand then when he goes back we can make a decision. I will tell him\nthat.\nK said I don't think we want to encourage Bunker to come back at this\ntime. The President would like Bunker to stay at least through June.\nS said if we don't hear anything from him, I assume we will not push\nit.\nS said, finally Henry, I wanted to mention the story on Korean atrocities.\nThe line we are goind to take is that there is not any unified command\nthere and the matter should be referred to the Koreans and Vietnamese\nfor comment. They are getting language together for Laird tomorrow -\nthere were accusations that U.S. troops were involved. K said, can\nwe see the language. Haig or I should see it. S said I will ask\nthem to get in touch with you or Haig.\nmlh\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."
