late afternoon
2/17/71
K: Al told me of his conversation with you. We will schedule a WSAG
tomorrow. We will have a word on Cuba at the end of it. What's your
tentative thought.
J: I would go after the tender tomorrow. I reviewed the records on this.
I think it's the tender we should go after themm.
K: If they had made a port call with a nuclear submarine, we wouldn t
have objected.
J: I think we should goa fter them promptly on it.
K: Did you see what the President said?
J: No.
K: He said there's an understanding regarding offensive weapons and
nuclear submarines.
J: He did that deliberately? I don't think we are on solid grounds on that.
I think it may come back to haunt us. They may come back at us with
that. On Jan. 4 statement thexemax it was passed over and people read
that as
K: We could go back to the record.
J: I went back to your conversation on that and it's clear. I think we should
stay with that. We are on good ground with that. I think we have a problem
of what we do with the Soviets.
K: What should we do?
J: Call Dobrynin in and say howcome? Go back on the record on this tender.
It's more than an occassional port call. Get dates out on
.
We don't
think its in accord with our agreements on this. On the public side
? ? ? ? and what Defense said today people will probe on why defense
wasn't more explicit. Then someone will say both a submarine and tender
there.
from
K: Why don't you write XXXXXX re cord what you think the understanding is
in 3-4 sentences. I think time is to hand it to him agai n and say this is it.
J: I will do that.
K: Then let's discuss it tomorrow.
