Secretary Rogers
8/27/71 2:08 p.m.
R: That played very well here, the Rush thing there.
K: I haven't seen it. I wasn't there. I was at the meeting on Japan.
R: How did that go?
K: There is a terrible babbly of voices to tell you the truth, but
it went okay. So I was present when the President and Rogers talked,
but not at
The President asked him to do a little backgrounder.
I don't know how it played; I haven't seen the transcript.
R: I haven't either, but the coverage was good. I thought it
worked out well.
K: I think it did.
R: And the fact that we made our position clear was good too.
K: They didn't accept it, but at least it didn't hurt.
R: It helped N&X us.
K: The only thing that bothered me was admitting that they
might have a point in their interpretation.
R: The thing that bothers me
are you aware of that?
K: Rush mentioned that on the issue of
versus
relations.
R: The Russians are trying to make it appear henceforth so-and-so -
will happen. Our position is that it continues to be happening.
K: We have got to hang tough.
R: Yes. Apparently it's not a dispute between the translators --
it's a question of whether they can change words.
K: I would be adamant.
R: We have got to be. The English feel very strongly about this;
the French don't seem to care.
K: My recommendation would be to tell Rush he should go to
the brink on that. They won't blow up the agreement.
