The President
7/15/71 1:25 p. m.
K: Mr. President.
P: I just thought I'd impress Brandon a little. Is he there?
K: I am in the office; I came in to take the call. I just asked him and
his wife to come over as a social occasion.
P: And is he there now?
K: On the proch.
P: This will build up the mystery. Really I think he is a decent
man. You ought to get his views on those Pentagon papers. And I think
without telling him a thing
Let's see, what could you say
?
K: I don't think I should even hind. It will just be a general foreign
policy discussion. It's better if he thinks afterward how cool these people
are.
P: Thats' right. But he'll look back on this and think Y
Oh, one thing I did want to talk to you about. One thought I had; I talked
to Haldeman -- I thought you and I and Rogers should have breakfast with
Mike at 7:45 before the leaders on Monday.
K: Excellent.
P: Say when you call him that we want to talk to him in total confidence.
Don't tell him what it is -- say you can guess what it is. Tell him I have
total confidence in him. You and Rogers and
breakfast at 7:45 and
then the leaders meeting.
K: I'11 tell him it's a matter he and the President have often discussed,
but I cannot tell him about it and the President asks him not to talk to
anyone about it. I'll say the President feels that he would like to have break-
fast with him, and that we are going to ask the leaders tomorrow for a meeting.
P: Not today?
K: No.
P: I thought right after the speech, or before.
K: Oh yes, we will.
