Mr. Kissinger Candy Stroud
4:27 p.m., May 18, 1971
- 3 -
C:
I have seen you there myself. I have seen you everytime I
have been there. About two times a month is plausible?
K:
The statement about government expense money is a point of honor.
It wouldn't be anybody's business if I ate all my meals at the Sans Souci
with six women. But the implication that I would take government money
is,
or that I might even do that.
CL
I will print what you said.
K:
But not quoting.
C:
How do we prove it's not true?
K:
You implied it. You can say you checked into it and found I do
not take government expense money for eating in public restaurants.
C:
Do you have a total of your expense money?
K:
I wouldn't give it to you if I had it. It's my business what I sp end
on food. But it's ridiculous to say I go 8 or 10 times a month for lunch
to the Sans Souci.
C:
I don't think it's ridiculous.
K:
It isn't true. You say I have been there that many times with a
tall dirty blonde.
C:
It was a brunette?
K:
That is the sort of gossip I don't ask you to correct. But the
government money attacks me on a point of honor. When I worked for
Nelson Rockefeller -- don't print this -- I asked him to pay me my
same salary, so I ended up making less money than my secretary.
I maintained a room in New York at my own expense. I don't do these
things for money.
C:
If you would let us come talk to you.
K:
I like you. I know you didn't do it maliciously.
C:
I didn't know you would take it this way.
