Phil Potter/Kissinger
5:22 p. m.
4/8/71
P: I am confused after this session this morning to come back and find UP
quoting Scott.
K: I was at the meeting. It makes no sense for the President to say there's
no deadline and then give it to Scott. He doesn't keep things to himself.
P: He didn't say there's a date but that the President has one in mind.
K: Go with what I & told you this morning and XX you will be right.
P: I read what you said several times. I have been thinking and others thinking
about leaving an ix residual force. About 50,000.
K: I don't want to go into figures.
P: Laird said less than that.
K: When, , today?
P: No, sometime back.
K: What I told you this morning goes. There are a number of people who play
games with force levels and we spend 3/4 of our time negotiating with ourselves.
P: In terms of residual force XUX are we thinking of advisory group?
K: No.
P: A force?
K: Yes.
P: Another thing that interests me is when you said as an individual and went
off the record that we would wonder in 3-4 years what possessed us all.
K: In 3-4 years the outcome will have crystalized and the
will be over.
P: I did get the impression that you rule out the Korean thing because that
was an armistice.
K: We don't want to rule out the future because of PR exercises now.
P: You still feel negotiations are a possibility?
