The President
3/19/70 12:20 p. m.
[Didn't hear very beginning of conversation. ]
K: We will get a recommendation from Wheeler today.
P: What about Helms?
[Kissinger asked Ghorayeb to step out. ]
K: His deputy was there today. I think it is safe to say, Mr.
President, that the overwhelming majority of the bureaucracy is ex-
tremely gun-shy about doing anything. They are gambling that it's
going to stop.
P: On what grounds, I wonder.
K: I also think so, but I think the Meo forces are going to get
smashed in the process.
P: Is the meeting still going on, or has it briken up?
K: It has broken up.
P: Just say they have got to do something immediately.
K: I was going to assemble them again tonight.
R: Cancel what you are doing. Call them over imme diately and
tell them the President wants an action plan on his desk by 3:00. Cancel
all their luncheon plans; cancel yours. Get the fellow out of your office
who's there. Tell them I want some action, because I've made the
decision.
