John Oakes/Mr. Kissinger
12:56 pm, May 11, 1973
K:
Hello.
O:
Hello, Henry.
K:
John ?
O:
Yes, hi.
K:
I tried to get you when you were in Washington, did you ever get my
message.
O:
Oh, I did but so late that it didn't take. I called back, of course, when
I got the message but it was already--I - remember what happened, I
called back and didn't get any answer and I assumed that the office
was closed, and it turned out when I spoke to ;Mr. Campbell the next
morning, cause I called him the following morning, he said that he'd
been there all the time and I--evidently my telephone call just hadn't
gone thru.
K:
What a pity.
O:
I should say I was in touch with your office about 20 times the previous
couple of days--
K:
You are kidding.
O:
I don't mean twenty times, but I called--
K:
More than once.
O:
Oh, sure, early in the week, oh yes, oh sure.
K:
Well we are having massive pressure - - we've had this breakdown before
with people calling five or six times and I'm told once at the last minute.
O:
Oh yes, I don't remember exactly, but I called two or three days as a
matter of fact, cause I was there for about 3 or 4 days. In fact, I even
stayed over a day longer than I intended on the possibility that I might be
able to--
K:
The idiots, they are total idiots. There's just no chance of my not
seeing you. You know, if you gave me a three hour period, I might be
able to do it, but if you give me a three day period, there is just no
chance that I wouldn't see you.
