Secretary Kissinger/Senator Stennis
January 10, 1974, 8:12 p. m.
S: How are you?
K: O.K., Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm going off tonight to
the Middle East, and I know the story about Admiral Moorer allegedly
spying on me is going to hit the newspapers tomorrow.
S: Yes?
K: I just wanted you to know the
was handled by Ehrlichman
except
comments which were made to me. It's xxxbxx an absurd
charge because Admiral Moorer was a close collaborator of mine. It
was this yeoman who was leaking documents, as it turned out, to the news-
papers. I have complete confidence in the Chairman. I have no independent
knowledge of the allegations. On the face of it, they seem absurd to me.
S: I'm certainly glad that you called me - for you to tell me so directly.
I'm glad to know it. Iimagine they'll be calling me or Mr. Hebert.
K: I think the Chairman deserves your support, Mr. Chairman. They've
attacked SO many institutions that I don't know what's going to happen.
S: I don't either. Just between us. I might - I don't like - I might just
announce rather early that I was going to go into it, take jurisdiction of
it. Otherwise some other Committee might.
K: I'm speaking personally.
S: I want you to
K: On a personal basis, I think that would be a statesmanlike thing to do.
I would rather for your committee than some of these that XX are out for
publicity. You know the military. You understand what various things
mean. In Executive Session I would be delighted to tell you everything I
know, which isn't a great deal. Just for your information,
handled
some of the most sensitive things for us - on the China thing, for instance.
Why he would want to steal documents is beyond my comprehension.
S: And it's contrary to the pattern of the man.
K: It's contrary to the pattern of the man.
