Mr. Kissinger
Secretary Laird
5/20/71; 8:05 p.m.
L: That was a nice affair tonight.
K: I am sorry he left out Defense. Frankly they did better than State.
L: That's why I interrupted. I know the name of the game over there
is to kiss State's ass. That's not why I called, Henry, we had a lot
of calls on game plan I outlined to you on Resor. I gave you a copy
of that letter. Is there some holdup on President's reply?
K: No, holdup is on approving Froehlke.
L: It is leaking all over hell. I am going to write a nice letter to Resor.
K: I will get you the reply the first thing in the morning.
L: Do you want me to hand deliver to your office now Resor's letter
to the President?
K: First thing in the morning would be fine.
L: They are leaking it all over town. Even Schlesinger called Froehlke
and congratulated him. I don't have anything worked out on it.
K: I will get you an answer to Resor and I think Froehlke will work out.
L: But we are having a hard time filling that other job. I met with
Rub Metler (sp. ?)
K: See, if you had offered it to me originally.
L: I am going to bring Larry Eagleburger over here.
K: I am delighted.
L: I am going to make him in charge of policy and plans. Don't say
anything about it. I am going to talk to him in Brussels. I tried to
get him McCloskey's job in State. I am always looking for good people.
K: I will do what I can to move that letter back to you.
L: There are people calling up wanting Resor's resignation letter.
I don't want this to leak anymore than it has.
