John Scali/Mr. Kissinger
May 26, 1971 2:55 p. m.
jlj
S: I was wondering if you had seen the Jack Anderson column. He
says the US is picking up on radio GVN messages including those of
President Thieu.
K: Oh no.
S: I have checked with the Pentagon and they have issued a full blown
investigation and he reports this too. If he is reporting this, he is a
step away from talking about other things.
K: I still have not found the memorandum from which he is quoting.
S: I have some reason to think maybe if somebody talked to him. What
if appealed to him by one John Scali to lay off?
K: Wouldn't do any good but you can try.
S: Why do you say it wouldn't do any good? I know a couple of times
I was asked and it worked with me.
K: With you yes. If somebody asked will it work with John Scali I
would have said yes but I do not believe it will work with Jack Anderson.
S: I do not want to do it unless you think it would do some good.
K: If you think - there is nothing to be lost by talking to him. Think
about it and talk to me before you do it.
S: Oh yes. I would talk with you and tell you exactly what I would say.
I just wanted to check with you about what you think of the idea. I will
think about it. I just wanted to check with you if you had learned anything
in checking on that memorandum. Thanks Henry.
