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.
