Mr. Kissinger/Director Helms
November 11, 1970 9:45 a. m.
(paraphrased)
jlj
K: Dick, I have now read your paper and I am restive (?) about it. I
do not want some thixagx thing foreordained conclusion.
H: Henry, I am getting fed up with this and SO are my men.
K: It is a simple problem.
45 goddamn battalions in to an area
that didn't exist and they were hidden there until the standstill ceasefire
zone was announced and then they were moved. The ceasefire was
announced they were brought out and moved. On the face of it is an
absurdity.
H: What do you want me to do about it?
K: I want a statement of the facts.
H: What facts?
K: If we are going to have
I will take this to the President and
find out what evidence.
H: But then all I get back from you is this Haig nonsense about no evidence
that I am sleeping with my secretary
K:
was not hidden in there
H: Do you want a paper directed solely to this point?
K: The evidence. Soirees (?), airplane hangers. Evidence that anything
MAXXX of that magnitude was moved into that area.
TXXXXXXXXX
I would
like to get it this way or I will get you all together again and we will go
through the whole bloody drill again. Making your little speeches.
H: Henry, I am very sorry about this. I was told that all you wanted was
paper
agreement about xxxxxxxxxx what the violations were.
K: Next phase
may have been
could have been
in that area
(Mr. Kissinger focusing on something Gen. Haig was saying and not really
talking to Director Helms.) I have got another memorandum from Dave
Packard that makes another issue of this. I am concerned about the
integrity of the intelligence that is going to the President.
45 SAM
battalions moved into the standstill zone were hidden and after the ceasefire
were brought out and moved. I suppose then you will tell me that 114
empty flatcars were moved into the standstill zone. I have to have the
opinion that everytime I get a memorandum from Defense I can count on
it that it will be leaked sooner or later.
H: You will have a paragraph or two by the time you get back from Paris. I am
now with the problem and you will get something from us.
