    "ocrText": "TelCon\nAmb. Porter/Mr. Kissinger\n10:04 am, Apr9 1 19, 1973\nK:\nHello.\nP:\nYes Henry, good morning.\nK:\nBill are you getting that reply today.\nP:\nThe reply? You mean to the note ?\nK:\nYes.\nP:\nHenry, I cleared that yesterday morning, where the hell is it.\nK:\nOkay, well let me find it.\nP:\nI'll run it down. I can't imagine why it didn't get to you.\nK:\nLet me tell you, one other complaint--my major complaint is I just\nsaw the State Dept report. There are two things, one is my own fault,\nit lists the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China in two\nsuccessive chapters. It's such a total all out affirmation of our defense\ntreaty, it's going to give us monumental difficulties in Peking.\nP:\nWhich document or report are you referring to.\nK:\nThe Secretary's annual foreign policy report.\nP:\nOkay. Now you object to the listing of the PRC--\nK:\nWell, that's too late, and I probably had a change--\nP:\nI thought it was over there for a while, I don't know.\nK:\nI do object to, on a personal ground, is of all the briefings I gave last\nyear, I mean we are progressing, at least this year I\"m mentioned in\nthe report which is more than happened last year, but of all the briefings\nI gave last year, the only one that is printed in the one on December 16th\nlisting the stalemate in the negotiations - not the one in which I have\nannounced -- explained the agreement. not the one in which I explained\nthe Soviet negotiations. The one that was a passing phase which makes\nus look worse. It's the one that the State Dept had to select as the most\ndefensive."
