9:25 a.m. 8/1/74
K:
Bill?
C:
Yes, sir !
K:
Two things, I wanted -- I'm going to have a brief meeting with Baker
on this electronic thing--
C:
For you information, Dick is going to come
K:
No, I invited Dick-- I want Dick to come, because you people will
have to monitor and follow it up.
C:
I've got to be on the Hill, unfortunately.
K:
Right.
Now Bill one other thing that I wanted to mention to you that I'm
getting
a
little irritatedabout -- every time we have a crisis there
are leaks out of the intelligence community what you people toldme
,
what you didn't tell me--
C:
The Gelb story today
K:
Well, that one I didn't even see yet, but there was an earlier one
saying a senior intelligence official said that Kissinger blame not
to have been told--is pure bullshit. I didn't say I wasn't told. Well
I was not personally told. And you and I know if you give it high
priority and want to call it to my attention you can do it then there
are 500 reports kicking around the bawelx
that I don't necessarily
see, but it is just a lousy game that all of us have to watch worry in
every crisis what we say in meetings that is then going to be used.
C:
Yeh. Well-
K:
I didn't think it was an intelligence failure--we ought to have--what
we ought to do anyway, Bill, is make a wrap up the way you did
after the Middle East thing--what was done well and what was done
badly.
C:
I sent Dick Kennedy a very short little summary of that one allegation
that we had some how--we had told you or we had not told you, I forgotten
really which about the Greek thing which indicates to me that both of us
did exactly the right things. I mean there is no problem.
