TELCON
Atty. Gen. /Kissinger
1:00 p. m.
1/8/72
AG: Are you back in town?
K: I am still on the W Coast and I am staying to get the annual report on foreign
policy finished. I will be back on Wed. probably.
AG: We will miss you.
K: Not all of you. Two things. What is exactly Laird's objection to Rush?
AG: He doesn't think he has expertise for the job or can stand the pressure.
That summarizes it.
K: Do you think we can ram him down his throat?
AG: No doubt if the President will stand fast. I think Laird will try to talk
Rush out of it but if Rush will put Laird in his place, it's a good test.
K: He has been a chief executive official.
AG: Laird will try to scare him off with his financial holdings. I think Rush
will sell what's necessary but he has his securities in a blind trust for 3 years
and doesn't know what's there and I don't think the committee will look into that.
K: It's manageable.
AG: Ken says he will do anything to serve the President and if it's necessaryx
to sell, he will.
K: Rabin is coming back tomorrow and
all over again and it's
essential to get it under control.
AG: Have you talked with the Preisdent out there about it?
K: We have been inundated on other things.
A : I told him that State shouldn't take action without clearing with the WH.
K: What was his view?
AG: Heunderstood and I thought he would talk with you or Rogers about it.
K: We must get Sisco to open the pipeline this year.
