Senator Church/Mr. Kissinger

K:
Frank, I just wanted to call you to tell you two things--one how much
your vote meant to me personally and secondly to reaffirm what I
said to the committee during the sessions of my really strong desire
to establish a new relationship with the committee--and of course with
you personally withx whom I ve know for many years.
C:
It's lawfully nice of you to do that Henry, I was glad to give you my
vote--you knew that and I look forward to working with you.
K:
I know you must--it couldn't have been easy in the totaly context of
the pressures in this country right now.
C:
You were the most deserving man to be nominated as any I know and
I'm sure you are going to make a great secretary.
And if we can reestablish an effective working relationship between
the State Dept and the Committee, E think it would serve the country --
K:
I feel very strongly--an anything I can do I will do, and if you have
any suggestions on how we might do it effectively, I'd be eager to hear
them.
C:
Thank you Henry. I will take that as an opening wedge and I wish
that---I will followthem up. There's one thing that's been weighing
my
heavily on mind and that's the question of political asylum ofx for
these large numbers of people that have been taken into custody in
Chile and it KNK occurs to me--two things, first I understand there
are or may be some American citizens among them and I assume the
State Dept is pursuing it at the moment, the other thing is that
the OAS as I recall has a council or commission that deals with questions
of political asylum--and I am wondering if we have done anything to
urge the OAS to look into this question on strictly humanitarian grounds.
K:
I don't think--in the last few days, I've not had the chance to follow this
as closely as I should- don't think we have, but I have a meeting
scheduled this afternoon-- interdepartmental meeting on Chile--and
I will raise this issue and if anything develops, I'11 call you first thing
in the morning.
C:
been the
That'd be fine. I appreciate it if you would. We've been--we've often
DRE gxven asylum you know for fascist exiles in this country--I don't
propose we be an asylum for these Chileans, but I think there are other
countries like Mexico that might open up their gates for some of these
