TELECON
Mr. Schecter/Secretary Kissinger
July 12, 1974
10:40 am
S: Hugh must have known you were trying to get me, he wouldn't let
me get off the phone.
K: What does he want, to prove that the President is getting ready to
fire me.
S: No, he said that diplomatic relations between the White House and
the State Department were superb.
K: That's true.
K: I return his calls the same day now.
S: (Laughter) Well, you sound in pretty good shape. The reason I called
is we are trying to do a piece about -- a sort of positioning things for
your appearance.
K: My appearance won't be until the 23rd now.
S: I see. Are you pretty sanguine about how things
K: Oh yes. Now that I have seen all the documents which I never had
before. I think they more than support my case.
S: When you say all the documents, you mean the FBI stuff.
K: Yes, you see all I had seen is a 29 page summary. Now I have seen
the documents on which the on what basis are we talking?
S: The usual.
K: No, I just don't think I ought to characterize my testimony before I
give it, but I really
S: Let me -- well, I can say on my own that you are confident.
K: Very very confident. And, in fact I don't think there is a problem.
S; What about this so-called difference about the fact that Hoover says in
the memos, which I gather were drafted by Sullivan but signed by Hoover,
saying that you were the initiator.
