TELCON
Jay Lovestone/Mr. Kissinger
7:10 p. m., October 27, 1972
K:
Hello, Mr. Lovestone.
L:
Yes, sir, how are you?
K:
Okay, how are you?
L:
Oh, I'm trying to survive.
K:
Where are you?
L:
I'm in New York.
K:
Well, I was wondering whether you wanted to come in next week sometime
to let me talk to you about these negotiations with the Vietnamese.
L:
Well, I'll be in Tuesday -- beginning around noon time Tuesday and then
I stay Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. You figure out sometime
mutually convenient, fine.
K:
Let's get together Tuesday afternoon because, you know, the press has
such a vested interest and has been SO wiped out in things that they predicted
would happen. You know, they all said Thieu would have to be sacrificed,
he's maintained. They all said a coalition government.
L:
Oh, yeah.
K:
They all said a coalition government would have to be set up. There is
no coalition government.
L:
Yeah, I've got a number of questions I wanted to -- that's one of the things
I want to get cleared up, you know, about the administrative council and SO on.
K:
Well, it's not an administrative council. It's called -- what it is in effect
is the electoral commission that we've always proposed. It's a commission
that will be set up through negotiations between Thieu and the NLF. It's
their presentation, its members will be appointed by the two sides.
L:
When you say the two sides, you mean --
K:
By the Communists and --
L:
provisional govenment and the Thieu government.
K:
That's right. And it operates by unanimity.
