TELCON Sonnenfeldt/Sec. Kissinger March 12, 1974, 4:08 p. m. K: to get what we want in this declaration -- what we think is essential could be achieved only at either the risk of another confrontation or at the cost of such clarity that it would be misleading and secondly, we say nothing about his not coming to Europe. S: Damn it that must have gotten lost in the retyping because we did say something about his not coming to Europe. K: We say nothing. S: I will have to look at it because that was in the original telegram and we retyped the telegram and it must have been dropped out of it. It said -- what ever the phrase was--that V under the circumstances I don't think I can accept your invitation. It is not appropriate to consider it. You want to say again what we would want or what we think would be essential in this view would either lead to further facilitating argument or what K: Or else we would be forced to obscure the real problem by some meaningless formula. S: Let me get it back. K: Good. Thank you. END
