TELECON
Rowland Evans/Mr. Kissinger
10:04 a. m. , August 15, 1973
E:
Henry, have you got one second?
K:
You wrote a great article today. It did me a lot of good.
E:
Did it hurt you bad?
K:
Well
E:
You're kidding me
K:
The villain in this isn't the original Watergate. It's the
people who keep hacking away.
E:
That's the base from which they can operate.
K:
That's true, but does that give a license to everybody?
E:
We have discussed how this looks anywhere.
K:
A lot of people in this town remind me of the man who goes
into a china shop, breaks everything in sight, and says 'look what you
made me do!'
E:
People here and there are saying please rally around. We
don't write that kind of column. That is the only message that the
President should get across -- 'Please let me govern.
Henry, I'm very confused. I just talked to the UN guys on this
vote. Between us, I get the word that all we want to do is abstain. I
talked to Joe Sisco yesterday. He said the policy of the White House
was to limit it to a simple condemnation. Is that the same policy this
morning?
K:
Yes. But if the non-aligned make it SO tough it goes into
automatic sanctions
E:
We would never vote for sanctions?
K:
No. But condemnation we would vote for.
