TELCON
Rowland Evans/Mr. Kissinger
3:40 p.m., May 9, 1972
E:
this morning.
K:
You did?
E:
Yes, I did, sir.
K:
Okay, I appreciate that.
E:
I'm writing for Thursday; two quick questions.
You've
got
nothing
yet at all, have you?
K:
No and I don't expect anything before tomorrow. And maybe not then
because I think they may wait until the German treaties are ratified.
E:
Is that going to be this week?
K:
Tomorrow.
E:
But are they going to do it?
K:
I think so.
E:
With (?) 249 ?
K:
Yeah.
E:
Now second, why isn't this à possibility? We have taken the play away
from the Soviets, we've challenged them. They've got to have something.
They say no summit; we're not going to bargain with the President of
the United States at a time like this and he's closing ports to maritime
freedom, etc., , etc. ; we're not going to invite him, that is off but the
agreement on SALT, Trade, Credits, all these things proceed as though
there was going to be a summit and if this works, the summit is either
postponed until the summer or early fall or there is no summit. But
they get this as a repose to our challenge.
Evans,
K:
No.
The thing that worries me about you is you and I have had breakfast
SO long -- SO often, you are beginning to think like me.
E:
Is that impossible? Seriously, Henry, I'm writing for Thursday --
K:
No, it's not impossible. It's plausible; it's one reason for doing our
move now rather than after the summit.
