TELCON
Dep. Sec. Clements/Kissinger
4:53 p.m. - 4/10/73
K:
Hello, Bill.
C:
Hi Henry.
K:
Are you alone on the line?
C:
Yes sir.
K:
Bill, if I let you have Hill are you going to fight for him over there ?
C:
Damn right.
K:
Are you going to win? Because we can't have somebody turned down.
Because I've come to your judgment that he's the right man for the job.
C:
Well, thank you Henry, I certainly feel that way. Now I told Eliot of
our conversation yesterday that
K:
Well, don't do anything yet because I want to get it triggered through
the President.
C:
Right. Now Eliot knows that he has made the policy (?) statement to me
when I asked him that Hill was acceptable to him and he committed
himself to me. He thinks that he would add great stature; he thinks that
he would really bring some weight into that Department here in the DOD
and he has stated this.
K:
Oh, he's got to get a free hand in picking his deputies.
C:
All right, now that's going to represent probably a little bit of a problem
but I don't think it would be one that would be of a serious nature, I really
don't.
K:
Because I think you'd get a strong man over there and I have no idea
about his detailed views and we want as strong a man as we can find.
C:
Um-hmm. How was your discussion with him yesterday ? Was he inclined
to have an interest?
K:
I think he's inclined to do what the President asks him to do.
C:
I see.
