    "ocrText": "Telecon\nThe President\n12/13/69 1:28 p.m.\nP said one other point--the UPI story on the Vietnam talks-- this had to\ncome from State. [Pread an excerpt from a newspaper article. ] P said\nsomebody is really putting that out. K said it's total transparent non-\nsense; very cheap prppaganda.\nP said when are you going to have the backgrounder? P said he would\nlike to see one on Vietnam and one on general things. K said on Mon-\nday and he would make sure Ron plants a few questions on negotiations.\nP said right, make sure of that.\nP said this idea of not replacing Lodge, we can't let them make a capital\ncase out of that; let's let them worry about it. K said you think I should\nhave a backgrounder after you are on TV? P said why not before? P\nsaid if they did it at 4:00, they couldn't run it until you've been on. K\nsaid right; go on at 4:00; tell them what you're going to say. P said\nwe'd really dominate the news that way, really get in and knock some\nof this crap down.\nP aid on the atrocity thing, I think it's quieted down. K said definitely.\nP said this is something.\nPercy\nP said Pikxxx suggests that no national incident since the death of Martin\nPercy\nLuther Kingx has such a strong response, and RXXXXXXX knows who these\npeople are [ the Black Panthers --they're not kids. K said they are tel-\nling the Algerians how they plan to overthrow the government. P said\nhe talked with Percy about Johnson's son-in-law thing. Johnson was mad:\nthere's a difference between it's being brought up as a family thing and\nas a press release. P said the guy who made the charge is a peacenik.\nP said Johnson was really outgaged about the whole thing. P said Butter-\nfiedl sat on his ass and didn't get anything donw. Who made the attack;\nwhat actually happened. If Johnson knew these things, I should have.\nP said can you find out.\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."
