    "ocrText": "TELECON\nBob Semple\n11:29 a. m. , January 17, 1970\n(Got in late on the conversation) They were discussing Semple's\narticle for the New York Times which he is writing at the moment\nand for which he wants to clear quotes with Mr. Kissinger.\nK:\nYou may have to come to my apartment in the morning.\nS:\nI am very flexible. There is a lot of interest in the story.\nThe real problem is writing a piece of history in the middle of a\ndaily newspaper on Monday. I have an artificial way of doing that\nto get me into the story without having the reader think I am talking\nabout the forthcoming State of the Union message.\nK:\nHow you write the story is up to you. I would like the opportunity\nof seeing whether you have the facts all right. A lot of it is delicate.\nS:\nThat is what I want, too. In going over my notes, I have a\ncouple of questions.\nK:\nYou won't have it written until tomorrow morning? If foreign\naffairs were like dealing with you, I would be out of business.\nS:\nIf I hadn't gone to Safire's for dinner last night\nBarbara\nHower was there. She had Ray Price cornered on the couch.\nK:\nHe's a bachelor, too. Maybe Maxine Cheshire will get a new\ntopic.\nS:\nI\ndidn't know how he would handle her. He stood up under it\nvery well.\nK:\nWe will be in touch tomorrow.\nS:\nThis will give me time to rewrite the story according to your\nemendations.\nK:\nIt sounds like a reasonable procedure.\nlds\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."
