McGeo. Bundy/Kissinger

K: It would get me into trouble with the State Dept.
B: Any chance that 2 or 3 of you could meet with the Senate Foreign Relations?
K: The Secy. of State and I?
B: And Laird and Connally and Peterson. It's not a good idea but I don't think
a meeting with committees -- there will be a shower of arrows from the
wigwam on foggy bottom. They need people who have sensitivity to answer
the questions. If the President said to Rogers take my statement and go
f orward and sell it on the Hill.
K: He will be more eager to defend his own. But between you and me it's just
a recital. Not much analysis. It's good but what you would expect a country
director to produce, country by country. It's not bad but not conceptual.
B: The President could say take up the supplementary document with my
document.
K: I am strongly in XXX favor of that.
B: If you could do it before Scotty writes.
K: I can't do it.
B: That makes it worse.
K: And then I would have to do it on everything.
B: I agree.
K: Let me talk with the President about this. I think this is very helpful.
B: In passing I might say that Scotty went out of his way that this was not a
case of Svengali or Rasputin. He knew you were doing what the President wanted
done but worried about Congress getting a sense of the dialogue. I said this
was always a problem.
K: I appreciate this. Hope to see you soon.
