Amb. McCloskey - Secretary Kissinger
K: Hello,
M: Hi, Mr. Secretary. I still have Joe on the phone and he is insisting
that it is not wise to go to Athens.
K: On what grounds?
K: Well, we were only half. way through our conversation when I found
out you were trying to reach me.
K: I'm returning your call. Didn't you call me 10 minutes ago?
M: I was on the phone with you 10 minutes ago--along with the others.
K: But then I got a message that you had tried to reach me while I
was talking to Secy. Schlesinger.
M: Well, I don't know. There must have been a garble somewhere.
In any case, Sisco is on the line. I've talked to him. He is resisting
or questioning that he should go to Athens. He says that the Clerities
proposal has already been rejected by the Turks-
K: I thought he said he would accept any President.
M: This is the word I was getting from him when I got off the phone to take
your call. He says it makes EXC no sense for him to go to Athens now.
K: Well, look, I've got Callaghan calling. Tellhim that I read his cable about
their saying they don't care who the president is under these conditions.
M: He asks then why we think the Turks, er the Greeks would accept this.
K: I don't know. That's what he's going there for!
M: All right.
K: But tell him to wait until I can get back to him. It would be a pleasure
to talk to somebody who takes orders.
Let me talk to Callaghan.
M: OK.
