    "ocrText": "Prof. Graubard/Mr. Kissinger\n(not verbatim)\nDecember 28, 1970 11:55 A. m.\njlj\nG: Henry, is it nice out there?\nK: Very Stephen, how are you?\nG: Fine. I tried to get you many times last week.\nK: You called last week? I had someone call you to tell you I was\nunable to see you. I have been very busy\nG: No it was not about that. I heard that you may stay overnight in\nBoston and might need a place to stay in Cambridge. I was going to\nbe out of town SO I thought you might want to use my place.\nK: You called me? No one told me you tried to reach me. I know there\nis something wrong in my outer office. Did you give them your name?\nG: I called at least twice. Yes, I gave them my name. I told Ann\nthat if you wanted to stay overnight I would give you my apartment.\nIt is very nice. Then I got ill with a bad cold and ended up staying.\nWe are diluged with snow here.\nK: In Boston? It is very hard to live in New England.\nG: When are you back?\nK: If the President is coming out I will be back on the 16th or 17th\nbut otherwise the 3rd or 4th. I am coming back for a weekend of\nconstant parties for John Freeman on the 8th, 9th and 10th. - 7th -\nHe has done an unbelievable job. Do you know him? At a party\nlast week for him they suddenly called on me. I told them that the\nBritish Ambassador has always been charming us to the point of\nbeing more influential than the cabinet members. I was not going to\nfall into the trap of Lord Harlech and have us pleading to tell them\nall our secrets. Now I want to tell you that Amb. Freeman is more\ninfluential than most cabinet members and that we are pleading to tell\nthem our secrets.\nG: Not a distinction of a light order.\nK: He is most impressive. Most impressive man I have meet in\nWashington. Not at first. At first his wife charms the pants off you\nright away. Perhaps that is an indelicate way of putting it.\nG: It depends on where she does it."
