The President/Mr. Kissinger
11:45 p. m., , April 7, 1971
Brought in April 9, 1971
P:
Be that as it may, don't blame them, but my point is we now know and
you go to the staff meeting tomorrow and just listen and find out where
everybody stands, you know.
K:
Right.
P:
And crap, they may not want to see where they stand. If they have got
the guts, we want to know now, right?
K:
Exactly, Mr President.
P:
Cause we have done everything we can, Henry; there's no more that
can be done.
K:
You have done everything that can be done; I think if it holds -- this is
a jolt to Hanoi that you haven't buckled again and I think the only thing
that can defeat us now is the homefront. I'm really quite optimistic
about negotiations -- I mean, they attacked that Fire Base again today
P:
Oh.
K:
And they lost 250 men, and their troops just aren't that much good
anymore.
P:
And we held the base.
K:
And we held the base.
P:
Good, Well, we will fight it off.
K:
I haven't seen any negative reaction yet.
P:
Oh, they will go after the business about being too emotional and all
that crap.
K:
Yeah, but remember, Mr President
P:
We are talking to the people; I don't give a shit about
K:
The New York Times the day after your November 3rd speech, Reston
nearly had a heart attack.
P:
Yeah.
