TELECON
Mr. Kissinger/Ambassador Dobrynin
6:52 p. m., October 11, 1971
K:
Anatoliy, we seem to be having some problem with leaks
out of your Foreign Office. Your Charge called on the Japanese
and told about the announcement tomorrow, and they are asking
us.
D:
Our Charge d'Affaires? I don't know about it.
K:
I haven't told the President -- he will climb walls. With regard
to our understanding, we have not told anybody.
D:
Our Charge d'Affaires told it to whom?
K:
To the Japanese Foreign Office.
D:
I don't know anything about that.
K:
That the announcement would be at noon tomorrow.
D:
Officially?
K:
Apparently. Their Ambassador asked us whether it was true.
It creates two problems: (1) we haven't told the Japanese yet because
we were to tell them two hours before.
D:
I don't know anything about it. I can check it with Moscow and
K:
If you tell anything to the Japanese Foreign Office, you might
as well call in the press and tell them. Just for your information,
this is going to drive the President absolutely wild. He wanted to make
it himself.
D:
I don't know anything about it. It's news to me. I can check
with Moscow.
K:
Why don't you. It would help if it leaks, I can tell the President
how it happened.
D:
I won't be able to get an answer until tomorrow. There was
no intention for us to make a leakage in Japan. What is the purpose?
K:
It embarrasses us with the Japanese because it means they heard
it from you before us. We are their allies.
