    "ocrText": "TELECON\nSenator Adlai Stevenson/Secretary Kissinger\nMarch 29, 1974\n7:25 PM\nS: Hello, Mr. Secretary.\nK: How are you?\nyou're\nS: I'm fine and I know/tired and busy.\nK: That's all right.\nS: Thank you for returning my call. The economic - the importi control legislation\nand also Eximbank legislation is in a subcommittee that I'm the - the subcommittee\nis banking this committee and I'm the Chairman of it. Both the Export control\nadministration act and the Exim legislation expires at the end of this fiscal year,\nJune 30. We held some hearings and we're planning a resumption of the hearings\nnext week. What we want to focus on at this time are the foreign policy implications\nfor both export controls and export credits. That of course raises the Jackson\namendment but it's an example of a larger question, GAC opinion that a nu; mber of\nproposals one way or another, or bartering food principally for other commodities.\nThe general purpose is to get into the foreign policy implications of export policies\nand we're starting with some administration witnesses, Casey is going to come up\nbut I would hope at some point we might come in on you to testify in this phase of\nthe hearings.\nK: My trouble is I'll be on vacation next. How long are these hearings going to\nrun?\nS: They'll run through the month and maybe into May.\nK: I don't think I'll be able to do it before May if that's still time.\nS: No, that might be better. I'm in no position to say, but we'll be continuing\ncertainly in early May.\nK: I'll be on vacation and then there's that special assembly in N. Y. which brings\nSO many foreign ministers here. Then we have an CAS meeting in Atlanta. If you\nwould let me wait until May I would appreciate it.\nS: By all means, it will suit your convenience. I do think you and you almost alone\ncould speak authoritatively on this aspect. At some point hope very much.\nK: As long as I have you on the phone, I wouldn't havebothered with it, the newspapers\ntoday all have stories about a failure of the SALT negoations in Moscow and that's\ntotally wrong."
