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.
