    "ocrText": "TELECON, 9:25 p.m., October 26, 1973\nSecretary/Lord Cromer\nC. I thought the President was absolutely great. By\nallusion to the State Department remarks this afternoon,\nI think you might have a hornet's nest. I was at a\nlunch today--as you know, I have no complaint, but they\nwere full of complaints over no consultations on any-\nthing. So when the President goes on the air and says\nhe has received less than cooperation from the Europeans,\nthis can cause a lots of unhappiness. I know what..\nK. Well, we are willing to take this, Rollie. We have\njust about--the Europeans have to face the fact that the\nPresident is fed up.\nC. They weren't called in to be told.\nK. That's not true of you.\nC. That is what I am saying. I am ringing you up as\na friend, not as an Ambassador. I have no complaint\nwhatsoever. I'm ringing just to say you might get a\nblast.\nK. Let's be honest. We could have consulted to the\ndevil and back with the Europeans and they would not\nhave changed one iota.\nC. That might be true. I am not getting into the right\nor wrong of the thing. From what I heard at lunch today\nthey are pretty unhappy.\nK. We might reach a point where on both sides of the\nAtlantic there will be a need to reassess U.S. relations.\nLet me tell you what is irritating the President: refusal\nto put\n\" in the declaration. The whole\ndeclaration is not worth fifty percent of the effort they\nput in it.\nC. I'm not making excuses but it will not translate into\nthat language. If you look into the technicalities. ."
