TELCON Amb. Dobrynin/Mr. Kissinger 9:50 a.m., March 15, 1973 K: that you haven't met yet. D: Well, I'm really almost eager to see her. K: I'm sorry I didn't get your approval before I hired her. D: But I do rely on your taste, I'm sure about it. Because up till now, in most cases I do approve. K: Okay. D: Henry, I just received from Gromyko in connection with your yesterday's call at night. K: Yeah. D: And he's just sent a telegram there to our representation. First of all, he telling them in rather strong language saying that this particular document was given in a strictly confidential measure to some western countries. He doesn't give your call but make it this way and should be discussed only through confidential channels but not in any case in Helsinki. K: Right. D: And you he said to Ambassador and other representatives should very strictly adhere to this rule. K: Right. D: So this is already -- I received a copy of this telegram. K: Well, I'm talking to Rush and I will have a suggestion. We'll tell you how we'll handle it tonight. D: So it is still as I see from this, it is very clear that we prefer -- not prefer but really it is still only you, as I mentioned, and with France and through you, you said and Great Britain. K: That's right. D: That's all really. So what I mentioned to you about confidential character of this document, it still stands as it was a month ago.
