TELECON Frank Lindsey/Mr. Kissinger 9:45 a. m. , January 28, 1971 L: I'm sorry to be taking SO much of your time. K: I'm sorry to be such a prima donna. L: I understand your position. It seems to me you feel you have done everything you can to meet the kids half-way. I just wanted to tell you one thing -- our own Student Committee commented to my fellow who has been working with them that they were horrified by the Crimson piece. They said whoever had written it had misinterpreted it; it was a hatchet job which was totally unjustified. Our Student Committee is on your side. K: How about the Gore problem? L: I have thought about it further. To try to get him put to the next day is hard. K: I agree. L: All the more SO that it doesn't put you in a bad position. K: I like him that isn't the problem. I just don't want him to answer me. L: How about this possibility? Let Gore go first. Gore will be gone the next morning. K: The next morning is out for me. L: No, you speak in the evening after Gore -- then you are in a position for rebuttal and not Gore. K: I wouldn't take it. L: I think we can assure that Gore won't start attacking. You would be on second. I can't give you a written guarantee that someone won't misbehave. But I am damned impressed with the student group I have been working with. They volunteered the business that they thought the Harvard Crimson really acted in an outrageous manner. They took advantage of you and did you in.
