Secretary Laird
Mr. Kissinger
2:40 pm, 11-21-70
L:
Henry, you got that last report of what you can send on up
to the President. We are transmitting it to you in a few
minutes. Then we will have better wrapup a little after 6:00 pm.
K:
What is your impression of it?
L:
We ended up with about 235 good strikes. The third wave
we were not able to get in because of the weather. Weather
is really closed in and will be for about 4 or 5 days.
K:
What about results?
L:
We have big fires. We will have better reports tomorrow
morning when we get the pilots in and get the pictures
developed. It is worthwhile.
K:
Right.
L:
There is one thing. I noticed I am kind of on report for some
these flights we have been making. We are trying to be
careful with that. I have been raising hell with the military
00 that a on that and I try to keep the heat on them. Maybe I should
send a memorandum to the President?
K:
I wouldn't worry about it.
L:
We have a flight tomorrow that could cause some problems.
You know which one I mean?
K:
Yes. I wouldn't worry about it.
L:
If it is successful and detected, then we will get a little heat
but we have to keep going on these.
K:
You have absolutely no problem on this with us and we will be
right behind you. I saw that memorandum and did not see
that it did anyone any good to have it in writing.
L:
I think the thing that brought it to a head was the -135 incident
but we were clean on that.
K:
You are okay. We are behind you.
