    "ocrText": "Telecon\nVice President\n6/17/70 9:50 a. m.\nVP: Have you seen Ambassador Tasca today?\nK: No, but I will.\nVP: I spent an hour with him yesterday. He is eloquent and\nstrong for some of the things that need to be said about our detractors\nin NATO and Greece. I hope that you will call upon him if there's a\nchance today.\nK: He will be called upon.\nVP: He feels strongly about these things and he's got some\ngood information, which indicates that things are better in Greece\nthan the public accounts say. Papadapoulos, he feels, is our only\nhope for a democratic government.\nK:\nI don't know why it's our job to install domestic regimes.\nAll of the self-righteous breast beating is a little much.\nVP: I know, but the Soviets are stirring things up in the back\ndoor and in the front door they are geing very conciliatory. A Bul-\ngarian diplomat visited Greece for the first time. They are trying\nto WOO them away from us and the French are willing to sell them\nanything they want. He feels that Papaddpolos wants to move toward\na democratic government, but there are people standing in the eaves\nshoudl he go down the drain who aren't interested in that at all. He's\nan eloquent spokesman. Sometimes you can't shut him off; he erupts\nlike Old Faithful.\nK: I've scheduled a meeting the President for him at 2:30.\nAnd he will be at the NSC meeting.\nVP: I'11 sort of encourage him.\nK: Good, because the Secretary of State doesn't have exactly\nthe same view, as you may know.\nVP: I've got some troubles of my own, as you can tell from\nthe news reports. I don't know what we're trying to do, but nobody1s\ngoing to protect the Administratinn but itself. The surprising thing"
