(call on the secure phone from Vienna SALT talks)
K: You are not telling me you have agxeed agreement?
S: No, not yet. I want to talk about #39. I understand there was a backstopping
meeting that it was decided not to go with the line we recommended. Bill
says that if Laird would agree we could go on theixx our recommendation.
Nitze has tried to talk to Laird. Tucker has been persuaded that our position
is correct in 39. I think it's consistent with the NSDM.
K: Youwant our approval here? We are the only missing link here? You
need our clearance?
S: That's my understanding I have Bill's endorsement and Nitze has
persuaded Tucker. Larry Lynn is the only one IXX in the trio.
K: What's the issue? I have been working on another matter this week.
S: Whether to
the bomber trade off or use that as a hold
back position. Not to present it the first day. If we present bombers trade
off on the first day, we have no distinction between them and missiles.
K: When do you need to know?
S: It's 7:00 now. We can work through the night.
K: I will be back in an hour or I will have Sonnenfeldt call. My inclination
Anything
is to go with you. Nutixixing that Nitze and Smith want I should get out of the
way. I have seen more Talmudic studies from Defense then I thought possible.
