TELCON President/Kissinger 12:20 pm 12/9/70 P:Nothing new today before I go to the EOB? K: No, there's nothing of any consequence. I am looking for my folder. No, the Pakistani election came out in a way that Yahya didn't want. The autonomous party go t a large vote in East Pakistan and B in Cambodia. (this is last is what was said but I think HAK was referring to the Pakistani election still and it was a slip. ) P: He still has control of the Constitution. K: Not unless he uses strong arm methods. (something about East Pakistan vs. West Pakistan) So he cannot fool with the parties as he wanted. In Cambodia the communists have started an attack x and have beaten up Cambodia. Perhaps se should have an airlift of the area. It's best to start our offensive or we will be in a rescue operation. P: In the paper there was something about Cambodians doing well. K: I don't know what it referred to. It was put out in Phnom Penh. P: We know what our facts are. No question of going forward if we can get them to do it. K: I have talked to Laird and Moorer. P: That is it? They are with us? How about Abrams? K: I think SO. We are getting additional X intelligence. P: Where would it go? K: The rubber plantation in the general area of the Fish Hook where werx were last year. P: Are there North Vietnmaese there? K: It's the tip of their offensive, The good one is the one Haig will look into and they are making the plans on. P: We have to do both. This is the tip of the communist offensive? K: It's the tip where they go from the jungles to the plains. If we could set them back a bit but it's mostly a despoiling operation. Sould be able to do some within the week.
