TELCON
Ken Rush (Dep Sec/State)/Mr. Kissinger
7:20 p.m., September 14, 1973
R:
Henry, the telephone is SO bad I can hardly hear you.
K:
Well, that's all that wiretapping equipment we've got here.
R:
Well, it must be because I have a terrible buzz on this telephone.
K:
Ken, I just want to tell you that I've been talking to Moynihan in general
about whether -- you know, what conditions he would be willing to come
back here without any precise ideas.
R:
Right.
K:
And he's talking to his wife just in case you hear anything on the grape-
vine.
R:
Well, Henry, I had a call as a matter of fact from a Marilyn Berger
K:
Yeah, but don't confirm anything.
R:
Saying that the rumor was that he is going to be Under Secretary of State.
K:
No, he's going to take your place.
R:
(laughts) Well, I told her that I had not talked with you about this at all
and there was nothing whatever to it.
K:
Well, that is correct.
R:
Good.
K:
And certainly not Under Secretary of State. But before I make any moves
I will discuss it with you. I am asking a lot of these people that are
coming in you know, just to be able to calibrate who would be good
for what job but that doesn't mean that they'11 get that job.
R:
Exactly, exactly. Well, Henry, there is a leak in your office somewhere
that got to Marilyn Berger.
K:
Well, I suspect it was a leak from Moynihan to somebody.
R:
That could very well be.
