TELCON
Under Secy Irwin/Mr. Kissinger/Joe Sisco
7:10 p.m., December 9, 1971 page 2
I:
I said the matter in which they had started East Pakistan and what
they had done in the West. We just wanted to know what their
intentions were. Just Joe and I sat in with him and Jha had just one
fellow he has been here before. So we will be over in the morning.
K:
Okay.
S:
Henry, there is something
I:
When I got back, I mention this to Joe and I'm glad he's reminding
me. It would be good if we could have a kind of meeting around
the table tomorrow like today after the President left.
K:
You mean we should restrict the group?
I:
If anything, you or we had no staff.
K:
Who would you suggest?
I:
Packard, Moorer, Helms, myself, you and maybe Joe.
K:
There is a lot to be said for that. I need a notetaker just for our
records.
I:
That's up to you. This way we can be sure that nobody around is
talking. The only people we have told about the meeting today is
Joe and Eliot.
K:
No one else needs to know.
I:
These are the only two. I will go over it with the Secretary once
he gets back.
K:
When does he get back?
I:
Talked on the phone but it was not a secure phone
we had had
a meeting. Talked to the Ambassador and stated our current situation
and possible movement of a carrier and didn't want to talk about it any
further because we were not on a secure phone and would send a copy
of the cable.
S:
Henry, I need from you any kind of general or precise guidance for
Face the Nation. It is not going to be an easy exercise. I want to
make sure the President is as satisfied with that as he was with
Saturday1s exercise.
