Marvin Kalb/Kissinger
9:42 a. m. - 5/14/73
K:
Hello.
MR
MK:
Hi, Henry.
K:
Marvin, how are you?
MK:
Fine, thank you.
K:
I just talked to the Random House people who said they have already
been in touch with you.
MK: Within 20 minutes after I got home.
K:
Oh.
MK: Some guy called from New York and he said did I understand and I said
yes and he said please as soon as you feel free, give us a call and he
said.
K:
Well, he checked - I just want you to know - they wanted to know whether
I would be offended if they published something that was in part critical
and I said "no" unless it were a hatchet job that the publisher should
have known.
MK: Well, that isn't the case.
K:
Which I knew was not the case here.
MK:
Yeh, I mean this is something.
K:
So I said they should take this entirely on its merits and there was no
possible way it could offend me. And I told him I had cooperated with
it because of my high regard for you.
MK: That's wonderful. That's stupendous!
K:
So I think they're extremely interested.
MK:
Well, God bless you and thank you.
K:
Have you told Norton yet?
MK: I am sitting here, Henry, my stomach is turning over and I was just thinking
how to quite say it, but I think that this call from you has given me new heart
and I'm just going to do it. K: OK. MK: God bless you. Thank you.
