TELECON
The President
(Brought in 3/29/71) p. 2
kind of lack of balance and so forth
He's obviously in there joining
one side or the other. He's supposed to stay out of this god-damned war.
K: That's right. If we do that we're going to have anti-American
riots in West Pakistan.
P: That's right. I don't want that kind of fellow there and I want
his background checked immediately. I want to know who he is and SO
forth. Then kick him the hell out of there.
K: Right.
P: Move him some place else.
K: Right.
P: Isn't that awful. Jesus Christ, I mean I wouldn't put out a state-
ment praising it, but we're not going to condemn it either.
K: No matter what we think of
Even if we didn't have that
relationship with Yahya, this is just not
there's nothing we can say
that isn't going to get us more trouble than it's worth, for either side.
P: That's right. Well, boy! Isn't that something. Shows you

K: Exactly.
P: Par for the course. Nobody here in Sisco's
none of these
people want
K: No, there was a little thought of it two weeks ago but we had a
meeting of the WSAG then, we had one on Friday just before we left and
everyone in Washington is postured correctly. They all understand that
you don't want to say anything and they all agree that we shouldn't say
anything.
P: Okay.
K: Right, Mr. President.
