11/16/70 ca. 11:30 a. m.
R: I was just going over this CIA assessment of the missiles.
They are trying to back away from it now. This is what we've said all
along.
K: It is one of the most
things I've seen.
R: We're right back where we started. What we've all been saying.
K: Everything confirms what you've been saying.
R: I went over every picture myeelf.
K: Even if their notion were right it still would have been a
violation. They said they could have been hidden under sand. Then I
had a stody made: they would have had to dig a hole as big as the White
House and the Executive Office Building combined.
R: This is exactly what we've 888 been saying.
K: Absolutely. The reason I put it out from the White House is
that once Defense submits a unilateral paper, they leak it. It wasn't
directed to State at all.
R: I understand. I wanted it done.
K: Butitx it confirmed everything we've been saying. If anything
it shows you've been extremely moderate. But we ha to go through three
drafts to get this statement. They kept saying we can't be sure they weren't
there to begin with. But to have them hidden up to that time and then un-
cover them doesn't make any sense.
R: It's just ludicrous when you look at the pictures. You could
see that the sand hadn't been touched in the pictures.
K: The whole thing was absurd.
R: By looking at the pictures you could see the construction: they
were bringing in trucks and pouring cement. I will see you tomorrow.
K: No, it's been moved to Wednesday.
