TELCON Senator Humphrey/Dr. Kissinger 9/18/72 - 11:31 a. m. K: Hello. H: Henry? K: How are you. H: Welcome home. K: Thank you. H: I take it you've been travelling about. K: Yes, I've been H: Nice to hear your voice. K: Nice to talk to you. I'm calling you about the letter you wrote the President a week or SO ago about the Jewish problem in the Soviet Union. H: Yes. K: And I just wanted to tell you personally I don't want to have it made public that I did raise it in a number of meetings. H: Fine Henry. K: The problem is that I think we've got to lower the visibility of the debate because they can't yield to pressures from a foreign country. I'm not saying they're going to yield anyway. I'm not asking you to lower this. H: Listen, I understand that. K: As a government we have to do it in as quiet a way as we can. We could score a lot of points in the campaign by saying what I said and to whom I said it. H: Yes. K: But we're not going to say anything publicly. I wanted you to know though that something has been done. H: That's very good of you. K: And I'm not asking you to repeat that or anything like that.
