    "ocrText": "TELECON\nMr. Paul Ziffren/Secretary Kissinger\nDecember 5, 1973\n1:09 pm\nK: How are you?\nZ: I am fine and I am glad you're bearing up.\nK: Don't draw that conclusion yet.\nZ: I have total confidence and total faith.\nK: You're nice. I talked to Herb the other day about doing something\nwith the Jewish Community because they are going to get tough\nI wonder how we should do it.\nZ: He told you about the meeting in Sy Riffen(Sp?) 's office.\nK: Yes.\nZ: I have great confidence in them. He has good judgment and he is\nresponsible.\nK: Do you want to come in here with him or alone?\nZ: What I would like to do is to develop an overall program that would\nmake some sense and then go over it with you before we do anything.\nK: What is the program--what a settlement should be like.\nZ: No, no. What we can do about the problem in this country. We're\ninterested withint the Community to stop all the publicity about money going\nto Israel. Secondly, any talk about the Japanese boycott\nK: We have a more fundamental problem about how to make the Jewish\nCommunity understand some sacrifices are going to be necessary.\nZ: Right. We want to try to see how we can focus attention on the real\ndevelopments rather than the Jews. You know about the bumper stickers\nthat say we need oil.\nFinn and some of the PR people are trying\nK: OK, why don't you get in touch with me when you're ready?\nZ: Right.\nwe don't want to interfere with what you're doing.\nK: But I am anxious to get some understanding in the Jewish Community\nabout what I am doing before they start coming after me."
