5/28/71 5:50 p. m.
H: Happy Birthday.
K: Thank you.
H: That's what I was calling about
K: I appreciate it. I had a question: Are you sure the Soviet submarine
is nuclear powered?
H: No, I am not. We had a conversation about that yesterday. It is not
clear what that submarine is. TASS has made an announcement to the effect that
it's going to be there.
K: But if it's nuclear powered and cruise missile
H: It's okay.
K: Well, technically, but I would then let Dobrynin know that they are
getting to the limit of the understanding and it's a hell of a time to annoy us.
But if it's a deisel submarine it's okay. We haven t even heard that it might be
a y-Class submarine.
HM: It might be some kind of communication link between two things.
But it was too inconclusive and couldn't be proven.
KM: Can you find out for me as fast as possible if it is nuclear-powered with
cruise-type missiles?
HX: I don't know if I can
K: It's supposed to be an #-2 typs submarine.
H: I'11 X check on that.
K: Would you and give ma the best judgment of your people?
5:55 p. m.
H: You had more information than I had faster than I did. It is an E-2,
nuclear powered, with cruise missiles. There was a photo taken.
K: That you are sure about?
H: Yes, no question.
K: If I reaise hell about that
