    "ocrText": "TELCON\nRichardson/Kissinger\n5:45 pm\n2/11/70\nK: With respect to that issuex we discussed before. I am still trying to see\nthe President. Just so you know and I know . Look at the memo of Nov. 265\n27, 1969, NSSM 80, which exactly lists what we proposed to cover. The\nfirst paragraph said the President has dictated a review of American foreign\neach\npolicy ? ? ? ? and then asks for Dept. to submit drafts and report by\nDec. 27, which we never got. We never got this. Remember, at a lunch\nyou said it could hardly be possible that you haven't heard this.\nR: I remember the memo of Oct. (?) 27.\nK: We didn't sneak anything by you.\nR: The problem wasn't that XEXEX your weren't in line.\nK: We have no problem with Defense. We are working with them perfectly.\nI am eager to\nit and Ted Eliot called Haig and\nit.\nWe never saw it until Mon. It was caught in our Administrative office from\nSat.\nuntil Monday. We didn't write this in the last day and a half. It took\nthat long to type it.\nR: If I had foreseen the present problem\nK: I didn't foresee the length. I want you to think we have been fair at every\nlength. We let Eliot know at everh time, the length. That doesn't solve the\nsubstantive problem but I want to get the point of honor straight. I value the\nopen relationship we have had. It's one hell of a mess. On the point of\nmentioning the department or State on the NSC section, why don't your\npeople draft something and we will put it in. We don't mention anybody by\nname.\nR: The Under Secretaries Committee, the Interdepartmental Group.\nK: That must go in. The Interdepartmental Groups don't indicate they are\nchaired by State,\nR:\nThe other is to ask Cargo to look at the document from the\nstandpoint of how a relative emphasis between the two documents might X be\nworked out. We are proceeding on these lines.\nK:\nVery helpful. Do you want someone to work with Cargo from our end?\nHaig or Lake. Pending the more fundamental approach, let's get that\ndone."
