Secretary Rogers/Mr. Kissinger
September 17, 1970

R: I just talked with Bob McCloskey who said that Ron Ziegler was
going to point out that we had a WSAG meeting last night. I think we
should say that we have been in close touch with the President but
not announce the meeting
K: It was a XXXXX unanimous opinion last night that we would announce
it.
R: That we not announce
K: Do announce
R: Joe, [apparently turning to Mr. Sisco] he said that it was the
unanimous opinion to announce the meeting. That wasn't my impression
Better if we would answer a question asking if we had a meeting
rather than making the announcement.
K: Mention it in passing.
R: It would seem to be a better way of handling it. It is import to
point out that we have been in close contact on it with the President
and are on top of the situation but that we are not getting hysterical
about the situation or making rash judgments.
K: That is clear guidance. You and I in close touch. Both in touch
with the President.
R: We should have a careful line. Everyone knows what is going on
and all are alert not any feeling that we are being rash which would be
counter-productive Would be bad for the King.
K: I couldn't agree with you more. We talked about it last night.
I
agreed with you. This was a marginal decision to me. At any rate,
I will make sure we just treat it as an answer to a question.
[Note: Mr. Kissinger asked that General Haig be given the above SO
that he could pass it on to Ron Ziegler. Both were done. Mr. Kissinger
said to make sure that a question in this regard was asked. ]
