Mr. Kissinger/The President
December 5, 1971 - 10:30
K:
No, I mean they are cutting off that aid part of it tomorrow.
P:
You mean the --
K:
P:
K:
Well, no, the letters of credit that I mentioned to you yesterday.
P:
Yeah. Well, that's nothing public I understand.
K:
No, but it will leak out.
P:
Yep. The line that may be developed that we have to anticipate in
that meeting tomorrow is that well, -- Incidentally, has
it
been
taken
up with State about cutting off the letters of credit and what do they say
about that?
K:
No, so far they haven't said anything about it.
P:
Um-humm.
K:
It's been taken up and it's being done.
P:
Okay. Well, I just can't understand this idea though that they are trying
to say that we are not -- that we are doing this precipitantly. I don't
know what the hell they are talking about. Well, that hasn't come out
publicly yet?
K:
No, and Mr. President, we have had two WSAG meetingsa day where
every agency has been represented.
P:
Um-humm.
K:
We have had four WSAG meetings in the last three days. I mean, I
don't know what anyone can say it hasn't been adequately considered.
P:
Um-humm. Well, Rogers has had his say and he has indicated what
he wants.
K:
Well, it's just lawfully hard to run these crisis, Mr. President, when
you get one Department out to position themselves in opposition to their
President all the time.
