The President
9/15/70 6:50 p. m.
P: I have sort of mixed emotions in one sense. I don't know whethr
Bill is thinking of this because he wants to get off the cease-fire kick. In
one sense the war is rather cool at the moment. It might be as well not to
do anything.
K: I don't think they want off cease-fire. In fact they are already
starting Bunker down that road.
P: Then I've got to talk to Bruce. The other thing-- - with regard to
Paris: we have got to think of our relations with the French. If there is
any real sensitivity on this thing, it's worth kissing them on the tail.
K: No, I was thinking of turning this thing off. As a matter of fact,
I was talking to the French Ambassador while you were calling me. I think
perhaps we ought to turn off Paris.
P: But if it will do any good I'm all for it.
K: I understand.
P: The problem is, does it make the Germans mad if we go to Paris?
The Germans are more important than the French. But on the other hadd,
we've worked klxex Pompidou over the coals lately.
K: The pros and cons are as you put them. Itwx would make the
Germans and Dutch mad.
P: Yes, it would made them but basically otherwise it is limited to
two heads of government I haven't talked to since they became heads of
government. It makes good sense that. way. We can bring Bruce over to
Ireland. That would be good. The Irish will love it.
K: The security would be good there too. They won't bug it.
P: And the French haven't been that good to us either.

K: I can put it on myself, say my response was just exploratory.
