TELCON Mrs. Javits/Kissinger 11:11 a. m. 11/26/71 J: Jack, because he's on the other side of that other Senator, and in NY -- we thought we would put together a dinner for the new Ambassador from Peking. We thought it would be xxxxxxx at home for a small dinner and reception. This was before we heard Peking threatened to send troops into Egypt. K: I don't believe that. J: No further word on it. Make it in your honor if you agree. K: Certainly. Anything you two decide I am almost automatically for. J: You are too much. We have decided. K: How will you put the invitation to the Chinese? J: Extend an personal invitation from the Senator and myself to our home to meet our friends and greeting them in an informal way. K: As much as I would love to be invited by you I think there's a 40-60 chance they will come. Less chance they will come if it's in my honor. I think SO. I think they like me but will want to avoid a situation of having colluded with us. J: Do you think this is valid? I thought it would soften the situation. K: If you give a dinner, have the dinner small. J: That's what we thought. We could keep it to 12. K: If you want to give in my honor, I am delighted, but major thing is how to get the Chinese. J: Directly. Unless I have to go through protocol. I should probably go through Bush but we don't want to get involved. K: You are knownfor the frontal approach. Extend the invitation but don't way I a on the invitation. They want to be on parallel courses with us but I don't want the to think it's rigged. J: Can it be cooperative? Want to contribute and not a social thing. K: I think it's interesting to see what happens. J:
