The President/Mr. Kissinger
11:45 .m., April 7, 1971
Brought in April 9, 1971
K:
Haldeman was like a rock as always and Ehrlichman was
P:
Ehrlichman was like a rock.
K:
He's been good through this.
P:
He's had a hell of a lot of heat; he really stood up.
K:
That's right and he stood up.
P:
More than he did before.
K:
That's right, and he stood up at the staff meetings so he's been good.
P:
But tomorrow -- are you going to have a staff meeting tomorrow?
K:
Sure, we'll have a staff meeting tomorrow.
P:
Just listen
try to smoke them out; okay,
Henry.
K:
Right, Mr. President, and again it was a privilege to have been --
P:
K:
No, it was one of the most
P:
The people will never know how much time I spent on this speech.
K:
Well, Mr. President, no one could have faked this one, no one could
have read somebody else's words here; if you didn't feel every word
of this, this couldn't have come off.
P:
Mrs. Taylor was really pleased.
K:
Oh, she was a little bit overwhelmed, she had never been called by an
Assistant to the President, she had never been mentioned obviously
on television but she said she was honored and proud. I put it on the
basis that I wanted her to know the President felt sorry -- I said you had
asked me to call and that you felt sorry that you couldn't have warned
her ahead of time but I'm sure she understood why I asked her
permission; that you felt it so important and she said it was an honor
and a privilege and we just hope we'll be worthy of him.
P:
Good, that's just what we want to hear.
K:
Exactly.
P:
Okay, Henry.
K:
Goodnight, Mr. President.
