TELCON
Mr. Kissinger/Secretary Laird
6:45 p. m., March 9, 1971
K:
I had one problem which I don't want to -- the message by
Sutherland -- you know the message by Abrams which suggests
that the South Vietnamese are slacking off a bit. I talked with
the President this afternoon and the President feels they ought to
stay in as long as they can stay in there. We will give them any
support they need at least until they can get closer.
L:
When Thieu briefed on this, he always thought 5-8 weeks. He
thought he had a great security (?) and a political impact. I have
a message going out to Abrams encouraging them to stay a little
while. You know what Thieu's job is.
K:
I don't but I suspect that it is what it is. I talked with the President
and the President feels that when you are hurting the guy, make it
pay as much as possible. You were the one that was telling us at
the beginnning.
L:
Thieu put out that he has accomplished a year's work already.
K:
But that's not true. Do anything you can do to make them stay as
closs to May 1st as you can.
L:
I will do that.
K:
Okay
