Bob Toth
April 25, 1973; 1:02 p.m.
K:
Hello.
T:
Hi.
K:
Bob, on that point.
T:
Yeah.
K:
Two things. Inever discuss what I discuss with the President.
T:
Uh, huh.
K:
But I would go very easy on stories like this. First of all,
everything I'm saying is off the record.
T:
Okah.
K:
I'd go very easy. My role in all of these discussions has been
at the very very periphery. Occasionally I'm asked one question
without knowing all the facts. And occasionally people who are
worried about how things are going are coming to me. But I have no
systematic connection with any of the discussions.
T:
Uh, huh. I know you didn't want to talk about what you talk to
the President about, but at the same time, you know, you're not
really saying this is untrue, even off the record.
K:
I'm saying I cannot be put in the position where I'm either
confirming or denying, or being driven into things. And I would much
prefer not to be mentioned at all in connection with these discussions,
because it's highly misleading.
T:
Uh, huh. Well, it wouldn't be my story. I mean, that is, I
really don't have control, much as I don't have, uh, this is not
something that came to me except through other editors, and I was
asked to check it out. Henry, on the other thing, are you gonna go to
Paris? I mean, is that all set up, because I hear that it's not exactly
firm. The meeting with Le Duc Tho.
K:
Well, between you and me, it's essentially firm.
T:
It is
K:
Yeah.
