Jackson/Mr.Kissinger\n8:35 am, January 17, 1973\nK:\nWell, you've been a great friend through a very difficult\nperiod.\nJ:\nThis has been rough for you especially and for the President, and\nI thought you handled it very, very well.\nK:\nWell--\nJ:\nWhen you left that night from Joe's, everyone wasd a little bit\nxxxxxxx discouraged, but obviously\nK:\nWell, I -- at that time I felt the worse was- thought we had a\nbetter than 50/50 chance of making it at that point. But it was\nstill very clo se.\nJ:\nWell, that's very good. Listen, I hate to impose on you but I\nneed a little guidance. I spent two hours with Dobrynin the night\nbefore last, he wanted to see me, I had a call from Javits about\nthe immigration amendments, you know.\nK:\nYes.\nJ:\nBat, hell, he talked about everything and as a result of that meeting\nof course I also found out of the success of your efforts. The point\nI wanted to make is that in my discussions with him, we covered a\nlot of things which I'll mention to you sometime, but the thing that\nI wanted to mention to you was how to handle this problem of specific\non the immigration problem. I pointed out, you know, allthe people\nthat are waiting and SOH on, the order of procedures, everything\nthat's going on. Anyway I asked him how about letting me have\nan indication--memorandum of the rules of procedure or whatever\nyou have in this thing. It's not a loss of policy. Anyway, I finally\nsaid look I'll give you a letter but I don't want to get into negotiating\nwith your government, that's got to go through Executive friends and\nI don't to be handling papers that something might leak out later and\nSON on. I suggested in a general way, I told him I was going to talk\nto you, that I would give him a letter in which I would ask all the\nquestions and seek the information that we need which was along the\nlines of my conversation. Now what I'm wondering, Heney, is whether\nor not that information can come back through channels, through the\nEmbassy, Moscow or direct to you. I'd rather it in the White House.\nI don't want this stuff coming up to me, in which I'm negotiating with\nthem, you understand."
