    "ocrText": "Telecon\nMr. Kissinger\nSecretary Rogers\n12/21/70; 8:10 p.m.\nK: I hope you are not as partied out as I am.\nR: Just about. I just spoke to the President SO\nK: You mean on the Ivanov thing? His understanding is that you will\ntell Dobrynin he will be released early in the year.\nR: After the Congress is gone. Okay, Henry. The only problem on the\nstrikes on the SAMS Jesus Christ I hope they are more effective than\nthey usually are. How large?\nK: It's a one hour operation and not going to use a lot of planes.\nR: The only reservation I have for not doing it is just how effective are\nthey? I have a feeling that they kid us about it.\nK: I feel we have not always had accurate reports. We should certainly\nnot let them go back to the same three in a very short time.\nR: On the policy I have no doubt about it. I thought what the President\nsaid at the press conference was very good and as long as we say they\ncontinue to fire on our reconnaissance planes I don't think we have a\nproblem.\nK: I was interested when Cooper and Aiken were here and they did not\nseem to have a problem.\nR: My only problem is if it's good. (I missed a part here about a conver-\nsation with someone.) It's floating all over town.\nK: I hit the Acheson point very well. I said when we have something to\nsay the Secretary of State will say it.\nR: I think it's fine and I wish they would quit sending so many people over\nhere.\nK: He claims that F\nput him up to it.\nR: I think it's fine. We will see how the stories come out. I thought the\nPresident looked a little tired. I hope he is alright.\nK: I wasn't there. I think he ought to get away. He has not really been\naway since the election."
