G: Dr. Kissinger.
K: Yes, how are you?
G: Fine thank you, and thank you very much for returning the call.
We have picked up out of Paris all kinds of reports on this Le Duc tho thing
having offered a 10-day cease-fire.
K: I haven t t seen it.
G: Neither have we and I'm wondering
K: It doesn't sound like them.
G:
No it doesn't, does it. It came to me first out of Paris and then
it's been kicking around Wall Street up there in the last half hour in New York.
K: You mean at a press conference or secretly.
G: Supposed to have been tendered already to our side.
K: Total nonsense.
G: Total nonsense. All right. The second question I have
K: He's holding a press conference just about now, and I don't know
what he would be saying but it doesn't sound like my old North Vietnamese friend.
G: You wouldn t recognize him if he said it. Can you give me any
guidance
K: Well I don't know what he would mean by a 10-day cease-fire, but
you know, we'd look at it.
G: Yes.
K:
But there's no sense speculating about it because it can't be, you know,
it must have some aspects. I d have to see what he's proposing, but it has not
been proposed to us.
G: All right, then EXERNING officially you know nothing at all about it.
K: I know nothing officially or unofficially.
G: Either way. All right, the loaded question then, can you give me any
guidance on, and admittedly this is a speculative piece even if you can do it in
the form that they make weather forecasts on television
would you give a
