    "ocrText": "TELECON\nBrian McDonnell/Mr. Kissinger\nX\n11:28 a. m., January 20, 1971\nK:\nBrian, how are you?\nM:\nFair to middling. I have a job -- I'm going to get a paycheck.\nK:\nTerrific; but saints have no business earning money.\nM:\nThey obviously aren't encouraged to. The job is interesting.\nK:\nWhat are you doing?\nM:\nI am the Community Service Coordinator for the largest\nCommunity Service organization in Philadelphia. It is very much\n'community -- it is community-based. It lets me give technical\nassistance. It's the place to be at this point. Alice is doing well.\nK:\nI talked to her last week. I was delighted to hear that. I\ndidn't get up. I had to speak to some Republican Congressmen who\nwere getting briefings.\nM:\nI have a couple of things.\nK:\nI am expecting the Attorney General to drop by shortly and I\nam going to raise the Berrigan issue. Frankly, it may get you into\ntrouble.\nM:\nThey have already bothered all of my friends -- where I was,\nwhen, etc. It's disheartening, bothering people with no relationship\nto me. They get people excited without any kind of information.\nK:\nYou can be sure I am not talking to anyone.\nM:\nThe whole scene of the indictment is whacked out. While\nthere might be evidence, there is some disproportionate kind of\nthinking.\nNow this is official let's put on our official hats. What\nI suggested to some of the people named as co-conspirators\nthey\ncalled me and I know them very well\nK:\nShould you discuss this on the telephone?\nM:\nI guess not. You are right."
