Ron Ziegler/Mr. Kissinger (not verbatim) January 6, 1971 12:45 p. m. jlj Z: We run into this all the time. Whenever we come out here it seems that Laird or Rogers has gone on a trip and we get in all sorts of questions about do you concur with Secretary of Defense or don't you? I did not concur. It was pretty fuzzy and I kept wobbling around. K: I talked to the President and he absolutely want to hold this line. Z: I am not going to state when U.S S. ground forces are complete. Responsibility will be taken over by the South Vietnamese. K: Ron, don't let them drive you any further. Z: What can I do when it is a statement by the Secretary of Defense. I can't just ignore it. K: I would not give too much credence to their statements. Z: They asked about completion of American troops - K: Ron - just let's not say any more. I would just say we have no more to say. Z: On the supplemental. Read that and then got on Cambodia troops - K: We are just talking too much. I don't want any more said. Are you coming along to the Los Angeles Times? Z: Yes, I think SO. Is that all right? K: That's fine. I will let them know.
