Telecon Mr. Kissinger U. Alexis Johnson 3/16/70; 9:50 p.m. K: I just got a message from my contact in Japan. He claims they are working on a new proposal -- what he does not know exactly. He also said that there is a lot of flexibility. He said that I should just tell him what we need and his boss would try to get it. (Laughter) J: He did not know whether anything else was coming? K: He told me to call Shimoda. J: Shimoda does not know any more -- I am sure he gave me all. K: He told me Shimoda should talk to me and get my intervention. J: What does he mean -- intervention? K: Why don't I get Shimoda in and ask him if there is anything more than meets the eye? J: I think Yoshino gave Phil (Trezise) all that he knows. If there is anything more coming, I doubt if Yoshino knows any more about it. K: Shimoda? J: No. K: Should I stay out of it? Yoshida said it was still being worked on about three hours ago. How can I call the Japs and ask if they have another proposal? J: Let me suggest this we will wait through the night. If we don't hear anything during the course of tomorrow morning I will ask whether he expects anything further, or you can do SO. K: Are we going to break them? J: We have two versions -- Kendall's version which had more substance and Yoshino's version. No, I don't think we break I think we should keep this going.
