TelCon
The President/Mr. Kissinger
6:02, December 1, 1972
P:
Hi Henry.
K:
Mr. President.
P:
Have you had the meeting yet?
K:
Yes, we've just finished it.
P:
I figured it would be an hour too long.
K:
It's tough going.
P:
How does it stand, the same ?
K:
Well went over the details of the ceasefire, and that's working
beautifully.
P:
Oh, yes, I know, but that's not a problem.
K:
But then at the end of it I told him about our telephone conversation,
and spoke to him very seriously, and I said to him again it was
something that the Americans have to feel some pride in. He gave
me the same song and dance, that they can't provide the settlement
and they won't sign it and--my impression & is that he hadn't got
any new instructions and he's just repeating his old ones. At any
rate, we haven't picked up any new instructions and we usually get
them.
P:
Well, okay.
K:
I think, Mr. President, we have no cho;ice but to do the very best
we can in Paris next week and then--you've done everything we can.
I mean it's a tragedy.
P:
Anybody else advising--have you talked to Laird.
K:
No, I can't.
P:
Well, I don't know if it would mean much. I wonder if we should
Laird there ostensibly to check the ceasefire?
K:
Well, we can do it. I just don't see how---
P:
Well, my talking to him is one thing--I don't know. I think it's
getting the message through to this fellow himself.
