TELCON
The President/Mr. Kissinger
8:18 p.m., April 27, 1971 -- page 4
P:
His analysis in effect realized what we were doing.
K:
A very subtle analysis of the international situation.
P:
Well, anyway, there is another player we can keep. Bruce is another
possibility too. It would be quite dramatic to pull Bruce out of Paris
and send him to Peking.
K:
For that reason, they might not take him.
P:
In terms of Bruce, he is our senior Ambassador and we feel he is
the best qualified man.
K:
They would jump at Rockefeller, a high visibility one.
P:
Visibility and it would be enormous. Can't you just see what that
would do to the Libs in this country, oh, God. Rockefeller over
there, Jesus Christ.
K:
That has great possibilities.
P:
Here is Rockefeller -- he is lined up with us all the way; he has
lined up with us on foreign policy all the way. Anyway, that is
something to think about.
K:
That's a good problem to have.
P:
It is a good luxury to have.
K:
Once this gets going -- everything is beginning to fit together.
P:
I hope SO.
K:
You will have to hold hard on Vietnam on Thursday.
P:
I intend to hold it hard. What's happening on the prisoners?
K:
I have three proposals which I am putting in writing -- they will
release 1,000, they are opening their camps and calling on the North
Vietnamese to do the same, and proposing that all prisoners be held
in a neutral country. This should be announced by Bruce in the
morning - -
P:
Good.
