    "ocrText": "Joe Sisco/Mr. Kissinger\nOctober 16, 1970 late p.m.\n- 3 -\nS:\nThey got off to a corner part of the time, but, Henry, the\nPresident's plans are precisely what -- I mean the Secretary's plans\nare precisely those that were indicated by you and the President;\nnamely, that the Secretary would announce that after Monday night's\nmeeting and not before.\nK:\nRight, as long as the other\nS:\nThere's no misunderstanding on this.\nK:\nNo, no; I know you understand it. But do you think the\nRussians understand it?\nS:\nI'm sure that if they don't understand it at the moment, they\nwill because the Secretary's very clear about it.\nK:\nWell, they wouldn't announce it anyway.\nS:\nNo, they wouldn't. That'll work out all right.\nK:\nOkay. Now, how about your doing a little personal memo for\nme after the second meeting, laying out what you think the President\nshould say, at least in your area.\nS:\nWell, I think we ought to do, if it's agreeable, I think\nand\nalso I'll get together with Martin. Frankly, we need to give you.\nWhat I'll do\nI will cough up and see that the Department as such\nsends forward a series of talking points on all the key subjects: Vietnam,\nthe Middle East, and on Berlin, and on SALT just those four.\nK:\nAnd as much of a summary of what actually was said\nS:\nAlthough we'll send you a cable on this and we'll send you\na cable on the Monday night meeting. That'll be plenty of time to digest\nthe two cables before Friday night's meeting.\nK:\nTerrific.\nS:\nAll right, Henry.\nK:\nGood, many thanks, Joe. You've been a good friend."
