TELCON De Mr. Phillip Klutsnick/Secy Kissinger 12:10 p.m., January 2, 1973 PK: Hello, Mr. Secretary. Happy New Year. HK: Happy New Year to you. PK: Thank you. HK: Mr. Klutsnick, I'm sorry we've had so much trouble getting together because I've been away. PK: I know and you're doing more important things. HK: No, but I would like to get together with that group you suggested. PK: I understand some of the things that have happened and I think they are for the better. So, when would you like to do it? HK: Why are they for the better? PK: Well, I think the meeting you had was an essential meeting. I'm glad you had it. HK: Oh, you mean with the Leadership Group? PK: Yes, I'm happy you had it. If I had known that you were willing to take that kind of meeting, I would have urged you to do it long ago. HK: Yeah, it makes it easier than to meet with other Jewish leaders. PK: Of course. But on top of that, they all feel very sensitive and you know there's no way you can keep a complete secret in this world. Except in your office. So what date would you suggest? HK: How about some time the week after this. Say the week of the 14th. PK: The week of the 14th. Could it be just as well the following? I'm thinking of a couple of fellows that are out of the country. HK: Sure. PK: If it could be just as well the following, it would be better. HK: Okay, let's do it the following. PK: Which day would you prefer? HK: What are the dates?
