TELCON
General Walters/Colonel Kennedy/HAK
8:04 p.m. , September 24, 1971 -- page 4
HK:
On the basic thing, they are pretty tough. The beginning part, think
it is just elegant. Answers a little
.
W:
I have little misgivings. About what they might do at a certain point
I mentioned to you briefly.
HK:
Hold it up.
W:
They could do what they did to Sato -- don't deal with this guy. Will
deal with successor. I will leave a paper for you.
HK:
Might move them into a position where they will do something
outrageous.
W:
Within the realm of possiblity.
HK:
What can we do about it?
W:
Keep our eyes open and find means to make sure they don't do it.
(get something on them). It's other proposal to do away
with somebody.
HK:
That's what I mean.
W:
All I'm saying is that we need contingency plans for an extreme.
HK:
I will draft a rather tough message. In addition, don't think you
should give them the second one.
W:
When you read it, consider when you read the scenario the atmosphere
surrounding it. I could go out there tomorrow.
HK:
That won't get you a message.
W:
The relevant thing is to get the text of what they said to you.
HK:
What time will you get here?
W:
2:00 pm. I don't think it is necessary. I will put a paper with it
for you.
HK:
I would have to send a messenger over to give you the text of a
message.
W:
Even if I come, you wouldn't have it in time.
