TELCON
Mr. Kissinger/Director Helms
6:58 p. m., March 9, 1971
K:
I just wanted you to know you are dead right and I hope you will
speak up at the meeting with the President. I don't think these
guys know what they are getting into.
H:
This is correct. I am deeply concerned about the whole thing.
K:
Frankly I agreed with your other statement. What the Arabs
have agreed to
the others haven't agreed to
anything.
H:
The side effects haven't even been calculated yet.
K:
What the Russians are going to do when the public brawl is
developing.
H:
If you want me to, I will say what I said today.
K:
I will make sure the President calls on you.
H:
I appreciate your call.
K:
I talked to the President and he frankly doesn't know what else
he can do. He doesn't have any others to give him any other choices.
H:
There are an awful lot of people who feel as deeply concerned as
you and I are. I think you felt that all along.
K:
I have little doubt about it. At the beginning I was willing to give
it a chance.
H:
This next step is just going to turn us. I appreciate your call.
K:
If you would rather say it alone with the President, I will get you
that connection.
H:
If I can't get a chance to come to the plate the way I think I should,
I will whisper it and you can set it up accordingly.
K:
Right.
