If you could come out and you might even\nhave dinner with us.\nK:\nNo, I couldn't do that, I would have to return to Washington right away.\nC:\nWell check your calendar and let me know.\nK:\nI will do that and call you back.

From the Administration point of view I think it would be\nclever. I will put it to Haldeman and the President.\nC: It would help the editorial position in '72. Any length speech on any subject.\nYou can leave after it's over.\nK: I can do it timewise. It's murderous. But I could go out in tbe morning\nand have lunch and be back by midnight.

The Japanese have come back and\nwe are going to do it at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.\nP:\nGood, it is better for us.\nK:\nSo everything seems to be working out alright.\nP:\nI noticed with interest the Pakistanis claim they are doing pretty well\nand I would like the Indians to be embarrassed.\nK:\nThe Indians have pulled off on this one but they are going to have\nto come back\nKeating finally delivered the message and\nthey are all over him. What we should do with the arms is wait\nuntil they make another military move.\nP:\nPakistan provocation\nI saw that they admitted it they were in\nthere\nK:\nOh yes, they admitted it.

What she said was\nso unconscionable and the Pakistanis were so prefabricated. On the\nPakistan thing you feel no action on the arms thing should be taken.\nK:\nI think as soon as military action starts again we should cut off aid.\nP:\nI still want Connally, State and Hannah to say nothing is being moved\ninto the economic aid pipeline into India. Are they riding herd\non this They will get the message.\nK:\nOh no question. We are just not saying anything. We are not signing\nthe PL 480 and we won't say what the reason is for. The Chinese -\nI told them you can't just say you are against the Indians and you\nbetter tell the Pakistanis what you are going to do. Do it independently\nand show them the resolution you are putting forth.\nWe are going\npretty far in condemning India.\nYou talked with Heath.\nP:\nDid they put it out.\nK:\nYes, and I think you should call Brandt tomorrow.\nP:\nYes, OK and the British is playing well today?\nK:\nYes, I haven't seen it but Ziegler said yes.\nP:\nAre you going to follow up with Newsweek and the Times?\nK:\nYes, I have calls in for them.\nP:\nBut don't W say anything on the China thing. W Should we have a\nbackgrounder?\nK:\nRon thinks it would be a overkill that the press is very happy. I\ndon't want to scoop anything you will be saying on Tuesday SO I\nthink it would be better to let it drop. Let them speculate on Monday\nand then you do it all on Tuesday. On Monday we will announce the\ntrip and say you will have a press conference on Tuesday.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.\n- 3 -\nP:\nYes, and give no details whatsoever and they will speculate on\nMonday.\nK:\nA week from today would be a good timefor a backgrounder and\nif anything requires tightening up we should do it next week - like\nnext Friday - see how the press plays it.\nP:\nYes, I agree very good.\nK:\nThe French press over this is absolutely spectaular. This is the\nbest play we have had in France. This is really excellent press play.\nThe time couldn't have been better chosen. (Dr. K reads some of\nthe French press play to the President).\nP:\nYou know that is one thing maybe Ziegler could do - he should try\nto get the foreign reaction in our own papers here. Do it very low\nkey. I'll tell you why these are bette r meetings. These are far\nmore significant because they are totally substantive and no protocol,\nno dinner, etc. no Embassy receptions. Normally these kinds of\nvisits are more than overtaken by crap. This is the kind of meeting\nwe should have - strictly substantive.\nK:\nIn this atmosphere we can't help but settle something.\nP:\nThis is very important and the British will get a lot of special\nattention. The British know we tell them things that we don't tell\nanyone else. Like this India/Pakistani thing. How has the reaction\nbeen in the world on the British/Rhodesia thing?\nK:\nWe have no reaction yet at all.\nP:\nWe don't oppose this we support it. We have got to help Britian\nbring out the chaos in that part of the world. Should I put out a\nnote.\nK:\nNo if you name is on a paper it will leak.\nand tell\nP:\nOK tell / / / / Bush that we frankly support the British\non this thing and also tell Newsome and the UN should know.\nknow,\nK:\nWell if they don't/they should. I have convyed this to them.\nP:\nWell we are going to have one hell of a busy month. The State people\nknow the Chinese thing will be announced?\nK:\nYes\nBrandt and Pompidou about the Chinese thing. They won't\nleak.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.\n- 4 -\nP:\nOf course one of the main things and I want you to emphasize\nthis will be consultation when it counts. Both of these trips are\nwithout preconditions\nHow about the Connally thing\nand the Pope?\nK:\nThat is all done.\nP:\nI would do it very low key.\nK:\nThat is the way we are doing it.\nP:\nMake sure it isn't set up that it looks political.
