Mr. Kissinger/Secretary Rogers
- 2 -
9:03 p.m., May 7, 1970
K:
No.
R:
It was on the ticker.
K:
I
saw it on the ticker. If the White House put it out, it was
unauthorized. We haven't found it.
R:
They apparently found a good cache today -- it looked as if
it was a major find. If we are claiming credit too soon, it won't pan
out.
K:
I'm sure it didn't come out from any recognized spokesman
from the White House. It's conceivable that one of these salesmen
put it out.
R:
We surely have a lot of salesmen -- putting out memoranda,
telling people what to say. This is not a complaint.
K:
It is a correct caution. I haven't read Ziegler's briefing,
since I have been spending SO much time with academicians, but I
don't think Ron did this.
R:
On the whole, Ron does a pretty good job. This is the fourth
time in a short period that the President has had to make a major
television appearance.
K:
This will not end SO quickly.
R:
We all have to stick behind him.
K:
After another week or two and the troops come out, it will
be better. That bastard Brewster at Yale is one of the most despicable
people. It's a pity Agnew saved his neck. He was going the way of
Perkins. This guy is a cheap grandstander. If we need no instruction
on anything, it is the desirability of ending the war.
R:
And his calling for a major strike.
K:
He should do exactly the opposite.
