    "ocrText": "President/Kissinger\n5:02 p.m.\n2/9/72\n-3-\nP: I will say you said it yesterday. Rattle these cannons.\nK: If you say it too often there is a slight problem. You can say it.\nP: On the World Report if they ask about US negotiations, what really went\non, I will say Dr. Kissinger covered that with you gentlement and I will stand\nby that. Unless there is a point we want to get across. No need to raise it.\nK: Sequence was that in August we made a purely military proposal.\nP: Only time we WX separated was in May. I will say you covered all that. The\nmore I can do that, the better. That's covered. I will now and then put something\nout SO they will know what I am doing. On the Rogers/Thieu business, we want\nto cool that.\nK: Bunker says it's a terrible problem for Thieu to see date of resignation is\nflexible for US. and ? ? ? ? ? ? . We have always said that these were Thiue's\nIdeas and we have fxxxxxxxxxxx followed Thieu's lead.\nP: You have cabled Thieu.\nK: Yes. They will riot if they think he is out of W power. Initiative moves from\nhis side and handled in close concert with him. Vocal support to him.\nP: Doesn't help over here. We have to save him. OnIrish thing, what can\nwe say? It's reaching awful far. Did you cover it in the World Report?\nK: No.\nP: I wish you had. None of our business. Can I say that?\nK: It's true but don'te know.\nP: Say we discussed matter with Heath and Lynch and we cannot interfere in this\nmatter but glad to be of assistance if we are asked to.\nK: By all parties concerned. That goes the limit.\nP: If all parties think we can be helpful we will try. Will it exacerbate the\nIrish - British agony?\nK: It's a loser.\nP: Internationally but a winner domestically. But I will not take it on. The\nIrish are wrong."
