    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Rogers\n4:00 April 3, 1969\nHAK said he was calling about the Peru thing. He wanted R to\nknow that the only thing we got involved in this morning was the\nissue as to tbo whether Irwin should go down to Key Biscayne.\nHAK mentioned it to the President. R said he didn't feel Irwin\nshould go and was against it. HAK said whatever decision the\nPres. makes, it would look like a crises. R agreed.\nR wanted to know what Laird was trying to do. He mentioned\nsomething to the press today about the progress being made in\nthe private talks. HAK said he had just had a call from Scottie\nReston asking what signal we were trying to give with the B-52\nreductions. R said that the other was worse though since everyone\nagreed that there would be no publicity regarding the private talks\nsince that would make them not private anymore. HAK said Hanoi\nmay feel we are trying to use this for our own domestic opinion.\nHAK also stated that the government's public relations was falling\napart. R said he didn't want to call Laird on it but someone should.\nHAK said he would handle it from here and would call on R if he\nneed help or support. R mentioned his press conference and felt\nthat he was at a loss as to what to say about this. HAK said the only\nthing he could say was to reiterate the Pres. wishes by not discussing\nthe private talks. HAK thought that R should go ahead with the\npress conference and maybe this statement would reassure Hanoi\nof our intentions.\nsa\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
