TELCON
Secretary Richardson
Mr. Kissinger
7:00 pm, 4-29-70
R:
Hello Henry.
K:
Elliot, how are you?
R:
How are you:
K:
I am doing fine.
R:
You have had a busy time.
K:
Without the restraining influence of these Thursday lunches -
this is what happens when you go out of town.
R:
The reason I called you is I got a call from Brownie Reed
who has put in an amendment to dissent authorization bill
which adds a section like Church amendment regarding the
introduction of troops into Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
I was going to call him and say why don't you listen to the
President's speech.
K:
He ought to talk to Harlow and we ought to try to stop it. We
can't have this voted on until after the President's speech.
Unless we think it will be defeated.
(Reed?)
R:
He/had thought Arends may have talked to Harlow already.
I tried to get Harlow and he has gone to some Congressional
dinner. Maybe you would want to get him and have the vote
put over.
K:
As long as these things have to be done, they have to be done
confidently. The people who charge us with immorality won't
love us anymore if we turn out to be incompetent.
R:
Since I don't really know what is in issue, I don't know what'
impact of it can be.
He (Reed) said in effect that he does not
and would make clear that this was not intended to make use of
U.S. air, artillery or advisers.
K:
Well, let me see if I can find Harlow.
R:
Okay.
(Note: Mr. Kissinger did later reach Mr. Harlow but talked
to him while he (Kissinger) was in Mr. Haldeman's Office)
