TELECON
Mr. Kissinger/Hyland/Haig
November 10, 1970
K:
Hello
H:
The public statement. The passing of General Charles De Gaulle reminds
us of the qualities that make men and nations great, his was the quality
of character that enables men to surmount the greatest obstacles, to call
up reserves of courage to turn.
K:
I told you I don't want to turn defeat into victory.
H:
And to call up reserves of courage period.
K:
No, no, there was another sentence that I wanted, Oh Jesus. Look you
dropped the wrong clause.
H:
Oh. I thought you wanted
to refuse to recognize defeat.
K:
Oh, all right, to turn defeat into victory, I think it's an ungracious thing
to say.
H:
Oh.
K:
You don't want to remind the French of a defeat.
H:
Okay, to call up reserves of courage to achieve victory.
K:
Oh God, if you think that 4 hours we've spent on this crude.
H:
You want to go on?
K:
Read that sentence again, now we're going to get it done now.
H:
His was the quality of character that enabled men to surmount the
greatest obstacles, to call up reserves of courage to achieve victory.
K:
To turn adversity into triumph or something like that.
H:
To turn adversity into triumph. His was the quality of vision that could
see the grand sweep
K:
Oh Jesus.
H:
At a time when others
