Secretary Laird
7/15/71 5:20 p.m.
K: I understand that you got nuclear weapons to Korea too.
L: Don't get carried away by these stories.
K: No, I'm just pulling your leg.
L: I handled that very well Henry.
K: Mel, where I was they didn't even cover this stuff.
L: It went along very well. We didn't even get into that.
K: I know your views on this well enough to know that. Mel, the
President is making a major statement tonight at 7:30 our time, 4:30
your time. He wants no speculation of any sort before then.
L: Right.
K: And no comment of any kind afterwards. He wants the departments
to shut up about it. There is to be no commentx by anybody. I talked to
Packard about it, but didn't want you to sit out there in Hawaii without
knowing what is coming off.
L: Right.
K: When are you coming back?
L: Sunday.
K: Well, make sure you don't comment on it at all out there. There
will be a Cabinet meeting on Monday to cover it.
L: What does it cover Henry?
K: I can't discuss it on the phone.
L: Does it have to do with your trip?
K: It discusses some foreign policy matters. You will see it in a few
hours. And I can talk to you about it tomorrow.
L: Okay Henry. I am sending you a memo, one on SALT and one on
the budget. On SALT I've got a few thoughts that should get through to you
before you get back Sunday. And also the one on Vietnam should I send
them to San Clemente?
