TELCON
The President/Kissinger
6:10 pm 1/15/70
K:
40 million more . He was going to get in jet and come East.
There's a rumble in the Pentagon and he's trying to shift blame to
you.
President: He cannot get more. Does Laird buy 300?
K: XXXX Yes, he was coming east but I kept him from doing that.
President: 300 on top of 435 agreed upon at Christmas.
K: MacNamara ran lean operation.
President: We will stick with that. 310 is it. We tried 350 and can't get
it.
K: The Ambassador in Kabul had an interesting contact with Chinese
Ambassador through Yugoslav Ambassador. He suggested
that talks begin in Warsaw then talk could begin about talking
elsewhere.
One interesting thing he said -- Vietnam has no baring on Chinese-
U.S. relations.
PResident: Whole new attitude on that.
K: Have to withdraw from Taiwan. In Vietnam have to withdraw eventually.
That was in your Nov. 3 speech.
President: We would have no trouble getting out of Taiwan.
K: We would have to withdraw our 7th fleet from Straits but would not
have to book hand Taiwan over them.
President: Very interesting point.
K: Everyone was opposed to those drones over southern China but they
haven't hurt anything.
Chinese push is withdraw from VN as soon as possible and should
not be raised in Warsaw. Has no baring on U.S. Chinese relations.
Very interesting.
President: Yes.
