TELECON
Mr. Kissinger/Senator Stennis
9:58 a. m., August 4, 1971
K:
I talked to the President about your proposal and he says this --
he will try to say something publicly. If a letter by him will make
a difference in passing this week, he will send a letter. But he wanted
to get a report from MacGregor who will also consult with you. If
you
think it increases the prospects to a reasonable letter, he will send
a letter.
S:
I think it would overall. I seriously doubt if there is time for
this emergency this week. Cranston and Gravell have announced they
are going to stop and block it. I don't think we could get cloture that
fast. Assuming the House passes it today, there will be just Thursday
and Friday and you just can't do it.
K:
Would you want the letter anyway.
S:
It would be helpful. I still thought you might say something
in the press.
K:
If it comes up. Incidentally, that Press Conference will not
be announced. We shouldn't talk about it.
S:
To be honest, I don't think a letter would pass it this sitting
before the recess.
K:
Could we wait until later today.
S:
That will be all right. I appreciation what you and he are doing.
K:
You have been a great patriot.
S:
Let's leave it that way now. I appreciate your consideration of
it. I wish I could give you a more favorable report. As soon as it
comes in from the House
K:
Call me as soon as it comes in.
S:
And we will take another reading. All right.
