The President/Mr. Kissinger
(Brought in 8/5/71)
- 15 -
K:
That's right. I think we ought to wait.
P:
Tell him that there'll be another time; there'll be a time
when I think there's a good news period -- that I'11 be glad to see
him then.
K:
I think that's right.
P:
Tell him I definitely have it in mind. It's a promise and I'll
do it like I did with that fellow, Cy Sulzburger.
K:
Right. Okay, that will hold him.
P:
You promise him -- say that the commitment is made and that
right now, for reasons he may understand, we don't want to say too
much.
K:
Right. I think that will hold him. In fact, that/goes further
that he think's you'd go. It's really fantastic -- for example, from
the LOS ANGELES TIMES, Bob Donovan and Kraslow want to write
about your secret search for peace in Vietnam. Now it's too early
for that, too.
P:
Yeah, yeah. What are they basing that on?
K:
Well, they are just assuming there's a hell of a lot going on
and they said, if you gave them access, they'd write a really, good,
thoughtful piece.
P:
Yeah, of course, they would.
K:
Which I think they would do.
P:
But the point is that when that comes out, that's for everybody.
K:
Exactly. I don't see why we should shoot it.
P:
Why give it to them -- the secret search for peace in Vietnam.
Boy, we've got a helluva record, and I'll tell you, it's just as well to
keep everybody loose on that. We've got Mansfield damn loose on
Vietnam now. He is damn loose.
K:
Right. But now we should clam down and not say any more.
