Mr. Kissinger/Ambassador Dobrynin
6:05 p. m., May 28, 1971
K:
Anatoliy, I am unhappily calling you about the matter we
discussed a week ago today. I gave you the wrong information about
the submarine. I told you at the time we thought the submarine was
a diesel. You told me nuclear subs were under the control of the
Politburo.
D:
It was announced as a submarine without telling what,
K:
I wanted to inform you there is a submarine tied up together
with the tender. It is nuclear-powered and has 8 missiles on it of
the 250-300 mile range.
D:
That was not a condition of a "visit. 11
K:
The understanding as we understand it -- is servicing of
nuclear submarines and submarines carrying offensive weapons in
or from Cuban ports.
D:
What servicing? In what way are they servicing?
K:
If a submarine is there independently -- but it is tied up with
the tender. We will not debate it, but at the best, it is at the very edge
of the understanding. I wanted to point out that our information last
Friday was not good.
DL
I don't have any information except what was published in our
press.
K:
The appearance of a nuclear submarine with missiles of a
300-mile range and tied up with the tender is.
You can have no doubt
how gravely we would consider violations of the understanding. Whether
this is a violation we don't have to debate now, and we will not make any
public statement for the timebeing.
D:
The understanding in Moscow is that a visit which is published
beforehand
K:
It's a combination of the visit of the nuclear submarine and the
tender and those two being together is a very unfortunate incident.
D:
I will transmit that you say this is unfortunate. As it was
announced, I don't know whether they do anything about it.
