Tom Joirriel/Mr. Kissinger
2"45 - 10/27/72
K:
Hello.
J:
Hi, Tom Jarrell of ABC. Since you made that hasty exist for
lunch, you have half of ABC at Andrews AFB and the other half
en route to Paris.
K:
Goodness gracious.
J:
What I was hoping about, I was hopeing you might give me some
background guidance on this statement by the Foreign Minister
in Paris. Insisting that Le Duc Tho and Thieu would be there
on the 30th and 31st, and they would be glad to see you on the
31st and talk with you on the first and second of November.
They are still pressing to have the agreement signed on the 31st.
K:
Everyone now has to get off their positions--I think it's going to
work out.
J:
You are not unduly alarmed by the tone of what they are saying
today.
K:
Well, I have yet to see an official text. They know what's needed and
if their serious they will not throw everything over for--by insisting
that we sign something on a certain date, the essence of which we
affirm publicly and, you know, we all ought to keep a sense of
perspective here.
J:
Right.
K:
I mean, this war has gone on for ten years and if it should not
be ended over what's now at stake, then you have to assume they
weren't serious to begin with.
J:
Do you consider this a legitimate offer to meet, that they would
be in Paris next week, or is this outside of the channel that you
would normally use to--
K:
It's outside the channel we would normally use, but I think it will
wind up in a meeting, but on what date I don't want to predict.
J:
Right. You wouldn't say it might be between now and Tuesday and
after that, or, you do expect to have another meeting.
K:
That's right. That's what we've asked for and that's what's going
to happen.
