    "ocrText": "Telecon\nAmbassador Dobrynin\n9/24/70 7:00 p.m.\nD: You were playing golf with the President?\nK: No, I don't play. I just talked to the President and he is\nextremely occupied tomorrow and is going to Camp David tomorrow\nnight. What he wonders is if you could give me the messages. If\nthere is anything warranting a personal reply from him he will see\nyou later in the day. That's his position.\nD: I have to check it with Moscow, if you don't mind.\nK: No.\nD: In this particular case when I left they asked me to ask for\nan audience with him. I would have to ask my government in this case.\nK: I understand, but you recognize that he is leaving Friday\nnight for Camp David.\nD: That's why they asked me to come earlier back to Washing-\nton. But it's up to the President.\nK: If a written reply is needed we will give that; if something\nelse\nBut under no circumstances will he have much time. Why\ndon't you ask Moscow if you can tell me, then we can have 15 minutes\nlater in the day for you to get his reactions.\nD: It is up to Moscow; it is nptt up to me. This is really the\nquestion. I can't decide myself. It is not that they don't want me to\nspeak with you.\nK: Of course, if there is something in your communication that\nwarrants his reaction, he will, of course, see you, but not for long.\nD: The question is how he will react on this, not XX just telling\nhim the things and nothing else.\nK: If it requires a significant reaction he will react, but first he\nwants to see what it is. Call me in the morning and see if you can give\nit to me; if so, I propose 10:30.\nD: I will check with Moscow. When will he be back?\nK: October 6."
