TELECON Mr. Kissinger/John McCloy 3:05 p.m., June 8, 1971 K: John, how are you? M: I got a call this morning from McCone. Apparently he has some kind of contretemps about his availability or about whether we wanted him. K: We want him. He was in the office the other day. He kept talking away; he delayed his departure. He was apparently wanting me to ask him to XXIX join the Committee. I thought it had been settled SO I never raised it. M: He was looking for something from the White House. K: He will get it. M: He called me today. K: There's no problem; we want him. M: He felt there was something in the State Department was throwing a block. I have not been able to reach our other friend Jim Douglas -- yet, but I don't worry a great deal about that. K: It's not a major thing. M: Are we clear on other possibilities? We have a lot of names. Is there anybody else I should be or you should be approaching? K: You should approach them first. M: On the basis, "Would you be willing?" Let me make a couple of suggestions. One from Dean Rusk Carl Sanders, former Governor of Georgia. I know him slightly; he has some substance but is not particularly knowledgeabl e in this area but he's a pretty sound man. Scranton suggested Stanley Resor. K: That won't ever be accepted. M: I'm relieved on that. Have you ever thought about Milton Eisenhower? K: Let me check both Sanders and Eisenhower with the President. M: How about Reischauer and Robert Ellsworth.
