President/Kissinger
: 21 p.m. - 5/12/72
K:
Mr. President.
P:
Hi Henry.
K:
I just spent about 45 minutes with Dobrynin. He's just busily working
away at the summit. He brought me a text of another agreement they
want to sign on renouncing nuclear weapons. We can't do it but I'm
just didling him along on it. He wanted to know if you would accept
a hydrafoil. They want to give you a hydrafoil for Key Biscayne to
ride around in. They' re pioneers in hydrafoil.
P:
Sure.
Did you ask him about the gifts for their.
?
K:
Yes, what he mentioned was that Mr. Brezhnev loved automobiles.
Can we give them a.
?
P:
Hell, yes. Particularly if they're going to give us a hydrafoil, we can
give them an automobile.
K:
Well, if I could tell him on Monday or Tuesday that we can give him
an automobile.
P:
What kind would he like? Give him one of the American automobiles.
K:
It's got to be an American one.
P:
Yes, but if he's going to give us a hydrafoil that'll have to be the under-
standing that we can't accept that unless we can give something that we
make.
K:
The French gave him a
and he likes fast cars.
P:
We could talk to some of our people here - Ford or - no let's get one
of the real sports car people. We'll get GM, probably they're the
best. Actually that's an expensive gift that we could have the company
go along on it. The hydrafoil sounds great.
K:
OK.
P:
But as far as messages are concerned it didn't have anything.
K:
No, it was just plans for the summit. Then he brought me little bits
again about the mining. One, that they took note with pleasure that
