Walt Rostow/Mr. Kissinger
12:01 p.m., April 19, 1971

R:
As long as your boss sees it lucidly that we must appeal to
the sense of responsibility of the nation. The sense of responsibility
is still there despite the misleading polls. There is a terrific
irresponsibility in the media.
K:
The inhumanity of the bombing the fact that has gone down
is never mentioned. Now it has become an absolute article of faith
that Americans invaded Laos and Cambodia. The fact that others were
there to begin with was never mentioned. But you went through it for
eight years.
R:
You got my note about Bill Jordan?
K:
Yes; I will do my damndest to make it possible.
R:
He is absolutely on the Johnson/Nixon policy; he has a deep
knowledge of Asia; and he has done a most remarkable job here. He
has a deep sense of public service. If you have a place for a guy like
that, you would be lucky to have him.
K:
I will do my damndest to make it possible, and I think I can
make it possible.
R:
Thank you.
K:
Right. Good-bye.
