TELCON
General Wheeler
Mr. Kissinger
April 17, 1970, 12 Noon
W:
Hello Henry.
K:
I have been having some conversations with Mel. I want to
be sure I understand. Is it true that the Chiefs recommend
that we do not hit the SAM sites?
W:
No, there is one that we don't think we should do because
it is 20 miles inside the border and is not a bother. The
other does not pose any problem. I have recommended in
a CM that it be attacked. It is to the south of the other one.
You should know that they can put those components together
in three hours and they could have themselves an operational
site.
K:
What's this road. He wants to hit Route 1023 near the DMZ.
What is that?
W:
There is a road down near the DMZ that leads into the southern
panhandle. I don't understand why he mentioned this. It is a
supply route if you want to look at it that way. I am perfectly
willing to take out supplies.
K:
Which would you rather do?
W:
I would rather do both. Take out the SAM components and also
hit 1023.
K:
OK. Alright Bus. I suffer from the naive idea that Presidential
orders tend to get carried out. He is now talking about supply
operations. He does not want to do SAM site. OK Bus.
