TELCON
Dr. TKach/Mr. Kissinger
5:56 p.m., May 10, 1972
T:
Henry, I'm with the President. I just told him the news.
Dr. Diamond, the man who went with Dr. White to China,
just called me about an hour ago. He's been in telephone
contact with a Dr. Roof (spelled phonetically) in China and
he's going to accept 7 of our academicians to study acupuncture
anesthesia.
K:
Isn't that terrific.
T:
Now, there is more to this. He's to call them back tonight when
it is their daylight time and first, he's going to talk to Dr. Hull
of the MA because you know, thousands literally now have been
trying to get into China and the Chinese are even confused about
this. I've been working with Dr. Hull and Dr. Marston up at NIH
to get a representative group. However, they named the people
that they want to come to their country and it is acceptable to
Dr. Diamond and they are outstanding men in their field. Now,
after he's talked to them tonight, he's going to call me again or
write to me. I'll call him tomorrow anyhow to make sure if he
got through. And the President wanted you to know about this.
K:
That's terrific. See whether we could get -- when they are ready
to make some announcement on this.
T:
Well, at some point in time they will because they will go through
the State Department to arrange all this. These men -- the 7 --
the group, that's coming here, they want to spend two days in
Washington, several days at the United Nations, and then they are
going to give a demonstration at their AMA meeting in San Francisco.
K:
Terrific, terrific. Well, that's good news.
T:
The significance of this is the President wanted you to know that
they did get through.
K:
And also that it happened two days after the blockade.
T:
Right, sir.
K:
Good.
T:
Thanks, Henry.
K:
Bye.
