File scanned from the National Security Adviser's Memoranda of Conversation Collection at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION
PARTICIPANTS:
President Gerald Ford
White House Staff
DATE AND TIME:
Wednesday, January 22, 1975
10:15 a. m.
(Staff Meeting - Excerpt)
PLACE:
Roosevelt Room
The White House
President: Ullman has asked for a delay in the $1 import tax. Henry,
what is your view?
Kissinger: It would look weak, not conciliatory. It would give them a
chance to develop a comprehensive counter program. They would pocket
the concession. In foreign policy you must look implacable once you have
decided.
Rumsfeld: I agree with that, but I don't think you should be so specific
in indicating willingness to pass the second increase in March.
[There was general agreement with this idea.]
Marsh/Friedersdorf: Rhodes and the Republican leaders agree. Ullman's
letter they think is a response to pressure.
Marsh: Griffin agrees. I think people are beginning to back off the
opposition as they better understand the program.
President: Tip O'Neill is the one putting the pressure on. I don't think it
would destroy my relations with Ullman.
Friedersdorf: Schnebele thinks it won't.
President: But if they're smart, they'll put this on the tax bill. That
would be tough, but that wouldn't reach me probably until about 1 April.
