TelCon Joe Alsop/Mr. Kissinger 12:19 pm, January 17, 1973 K: Hello. A: Hello, Henry. K: Joe, how are you? A: Well, I'm not lawfully well. My supposed cure turned out to be an absolute bust. K: Oh, really. A: Uh huh, I'm taking about a half holiday. I'm feeling better every minute, so there you are. K: Well, I'm sorry to hear about it. Was Kay along? A: No, she didn't go. I called her up and told her not to come, the place is too awful, and I couldn't stay the course, actually, and came on home, because it was too dreary, and there wasn't anywhere to walk, you know-- K: Yeah. A: And, look, is there any chance of seeing you? K: Well, Joe, I'm actually seeing no one from the press and I'm not even returning calls. I'm doing it with you only because of our friendship. A: The excuse is I have to go back and write on Monday, and I'd like to have a little feeling of how things look. I trust they look pretty hopeful. K: They look pretty hopeful and we got essentially what we were after. A: You did? K: Yes, but you would have to write this on the assumptions. A: Yes- K: You could say this is your impression from reading the newspapers. A: What sort of timing will the news strike, Henry?
