TELECON (tape)
Secretary Rogers
4/16/72, 4:30 p. m.
K: Bill.
R: You've seen this protest I guess that was delivered to Beam.
K: No, haven't.
R: Yeah, well, they've made a protest and they say that four of
their ships were hit. They do not make any claim that there were dead
or wounded among the Soviet employees; they say there were dead and
wounded among the workers of the Port.
K: Yes, that's what intercepts indicate, yes.
R: The tone of the protest seems to me to be milder than the ones
that they made in '67 and '68, and it's a lower level. In that case the
protest was made to Rusk himself, I guess in both of those cases.
K: Yeah.
R: And this is a protest to Beam by their Deputy Foreign Minister,
Gobolev (?).
K: That's pretty mild so we shouldn't be too provocative in our reply
R: No, I think we've got to tone down our answer.
K: Right, I agree.
R: And I'm preparing one now to send over; I don't know as we have
to rush getting it back.
K: I don't think we should reply until tomorrow Bill.
R: I think that's right.
K: That's pretty encouraging, don't you think.
R: I think so, yeah. Just a minute here. TASS has also put out
a statement. The statement TASS puts out is a little tougher; it says the
Soviet people rathfully condemn these U.S S. acts of aggression, and SO forth.
K: Yeah well of course they've got to do something like that.
R: But I think in reading, comparing this protest with the others it
doesn't accuse us of intentionally and deliberately doing this as far as they're
concerned. And the general rhetoric is somethrat softer, SO
