2.
Haig.
Oct. 6, 1973
K: O.K. We will proceed on that basis.
H: If you feel you need to change.
K: I am comfortable with this.
H: I take it you had rather do it tomorrow.
K: Yes.
H: You will get much better news play tomorrow. From a political
point of view, it is better to have given thee Russians a few more hours
and lean over backwards.
K: We had better keep book on that. If they play it the hard way we
know what we are up against. There are two things:
No. 1) is I think
as long as we know that the Soviets have been capricious and that way
it proves to be there will be no limits on what we can do. If they
play soft and spongy it would be very hard to be tough.
H: With the President.
K: That's right.
H: He will be making a mistake.
K: You have to figure as you go donw this thing if the Soviets are using
us we have to call a spade a spade and not play with them whatever the price.
H: That is my view.
K: We are in good shape.
H: That is totally my view. I don't think we can play it spongy.
K: As long as you play it that way.
H: They will be playing is spongy and we will still have to call a spade
a spade.
K: That is alright too. That has a time limit on it. I have given them until
9:00 tomorrow morning. I think it would be aggaxixis a mistake because we
have no one else lined up.
