Secretary Laird/Mr. Kissinger

don't have television, so you don't get the damned thing you had today.
That's kind of lousy with an unfriendly committee.
K
:
You did marvelously.
L:
I tell you, the only way I'll ever appear before Fulbright is
in public because if you let him control it, and you let him come out
and say what went on, then you get screwed.
K:
Hell, you had them on the defensive. Everyone of these guys
led with the statement that they really were in favor of the objective
and of the operation, and then they started making little nitpicks. You
can't win that way.
L:
You know, we've been calling these gals and mothers all over
the country.
K:
And apparently they've been speaking on television.
L.
They've been coming through great, Henry. And we got all the
national organizations lined up now -- you know, out making statements
and when you hear from the people in the countryside, this will be good.
K:
Well, Reagan called and, of course you'd expect that, but he's
been blasting Fulbright. I told him to go on after Kennedy, too. Your
instinct was absolutely right. By the time we are through, that's going
to be a great plus.
L:
Yeah, I think SO. They were giving us the business on the
intelligence a little bit today.
K:
Yeah, but you made.
I saw that great line of yours where
you said we haven't got cameras here that can see through roofs.
L:
But I did try to tell them what great intelligence we had to be
able to penetrate that sophisticated air defense system and to know
exactly where every building and where the locks were. You know,
this was pretty good. Well, we kind of turned that into a plus, too.
K:
Okay, Mel. It's a pleasure to work with you.
L:
Take care. Good night.
K:
Good night.
