    "ocrText": "Telecon\nMr. Kissinger\nMartin Mayer\n10/27/71; 6:20 p.m.\n-3-\nM: About how often in a week?\nK: In crisis situations, every day during the week and then I could\ngo without getting any . So, if you say on the average , about two\na week. On the picture phone while this makes me look good, they\nwere all removed including mine. The only other point I have is\nabout alleged failure to take people into see the President. I don't\nknow what I would do if this were another President. The President\njust will not see other people. If I told him I wanted to bring a staff\nmember he just doesn't function this way.\nM: Kennedy never wanted to see people nor did McNamara but you\ncan force them.\nK: You can force different views on Nixon by paper. To confirm his\nviews you don't have a case to bring someone in.\nM: I've been told Haig goes in quite often.\nK: Yes, I now have gotten him to accept Haig. Haig goes to 30%\nof the meetings now SO Haig has a lot of access to him.\nM: People have told me Haig has access.\nK: Haldeman doesn't take anyone in. Ehrlichman doesn't. Cabinet\nmembers complain they can't get in.\nM: I will see what I can do.\nK: You mention it twice.\nM: This is something that many people bring up.\nK: Right. On the other hand more papers go in than ever before.\nOtherwise, I thought it was a sensitive article.\nM: That's a XiXXXXXXXXXXXX kind comment. Thank you for taking the\ntime to read it SO carefully.\nK: I have not read it -- never!\nM: Wild horses cannot draw it out of me."
