TELCON President/Mrs. Nixon/Kissinger 10:20 p.m. - 1/23/73 K: Mr. President. P: Well, we got it over. K: I thought it was magnificently done. P: It was a short one anyway. K: It was beautifully delivered and even Marvin Kalb is having a helluva time with it. P: He doesn't know what to say, huh? K: That's right. P: Well, that kills them, you know. The ceasefire kills them, the independent government for South Vietnam kills them and they know that everything they said would not happen has been achieved. K: Exactly. P: We got all the conditions that we laid down. K: Well, I noticed the Congressmen were just awestruck. P: Those guys - oh well, they were a K: Yeh, but Mansfield isn't out to be helpful. P: None of them are. They don't know what to say. On that briefing thing I'm trying to get you out of it, I think maybe you ought to do the Senate. Let me tell you why I think it's a good idea. It will get away from some of this business. We've got a good face to sell; it's not bad for you to do it. K: But I can kill them anyway. P: That's my point. K: I'll know more about it then any of them. P: That's right. So that's why I deliberately slipped it to Friday because you're going to have a hard day tomorrow.
