TELCON
Dean Acheson/Kissinger
3:06 pm
12/9/80
A: I thought our meeting went well the other day.
K: So did I.
A: We were all impressed on how clearly the President came through. We
conferred together for a moment or so to see what there was anything you
would want from us.
K: Some concrete suggestions on leadership we could exercise in Europe
right now especially with respect to Ost-Politik which I think is a disaster.
Brandt is sincere but there are a lot of sincere fools in the world.
A: I wish there were some Machivellian fools. What you would like specifically
is specific suggestions on what we can to and x how. Especially about Brandt
and Ost-Politik. I will talk to McCloy.
K: That's fine and we are always glad to hear from you separately.
A: Perhaps I will do that. We didn't want to do something useless.
K: I find we are having lunch Tuesday.
A: That's correct. I felt I should get to it before that.
