Under Secretary Johnson
May 27, 1971; 5:40 p. m.
K: Actually the one thing I wanted I have found out. You have had a chance
to read through that book?
J: Yes. I had to read it very fast.
K: It is still available to you.
J: I wanted to ask you one question. There is one question open which I
really wasn't able to follow through on the conversations going back and forth.
K: Those conversations are always keyed to some document.
J: I just didn't have time to get the documents out. The one question is
that last letter was from us to them, that is on the 19th of May. You
delivered it to him on May 19.
K: Yes, well I.
J: That talks about discussing the question of phrasing
the nature
before ABM is completed. Then I saw your conversations: with him in
which he accepted your statement that the agreements should be simultaneous.
K: That's right.
J: What I wasn't clear about is how the phrasing of the letter of the 19th
came about. The phrasing of the letter of the 19th is not consistent with
the public statement to begin with, but he also used the statement, the oral
six statement you made to him.
K: The point was he said he could get the letter changed but it would take
almost three weeks and therefore he suggested the oral statement.
J: I see.
K: He said the oral stat_ement, plus the public statement, covered the point.
J: Yes, I saw that. Did that phrasing in the 19th letter come from them?
K: That came from them.
J: I see. But we delivered that letter to them, did we?
K: Today, and they gave us their copy today.
