TELCON Rogers/Kissinger 12:05 p. m. 3/23/71 R: I took care of what I called about. It was security assistance. Mel claimed he hadn't gotten the word which I talked with Schlessinger - K: He was mad but WEX he didn't understand. He wanted a meeting with you and me and the President after the NSC but we can call this off. R: I don't think we should bother the President. How do you think he did last night? K: Well, Ithought. Except for the withdrawal figure. Mel was back on the phone first thing this morning. R: I chuckled at that. It's better to have the Presdient say it rather than a Cabinet member. K: He didn't indicate the time period. R: I was surprised that Howard K. Smith took SO long on SEA -- 40 mins. out of an hour. Nothing about the hemisphere. And he didnt give the President enough time to philosophise, which he is SO good at. I thought his last answer was good but the choice of questions, while well put K: More aggressive than usual. R: But it shows no matter what you talk about -- K: It goes in phases. One phase when you couldn't/ about Indochina . I think Laos will subside in the next few weeks.
