    "ocrText": "TELECON\nVice President Ford/Secretary Kissinger\nMarch 14, 1974\n5:48 PM\nF: Hi, Henry.\nK: Hello, Mr. Vice President.\nF: How are you, Henry?\nK: OK. I just called you because I've been harrassed by both the President\nand the press all day long about what I may or may not have said to you.\nF: When?\nK: About the embargo. You know you said this morning you had heard from\nme that it was being lifted. All I want you to know if I had said to the press\nall day long what they asked me, then all I know about the embargo is what\nI read on the press tickers because we haven't had any official word. And that\nI must have given you the general sense of an expectation.\nF: I guess that's right, but then I read the paper this morning and I was on\nthat 7:30 TV program, Henry.\nK: No, I just want you to know that I didn't mean to pull away from you.\nF: Right.\nK: But I had no choice because then to say that we haven't had any official\nword because if I said anything else Faisal would hit the ceiling.\nF: Right, I understand. As I recall what I said, I said apparently it had\nbeen lifted and that a final notification would probably come in several days\non Sunday and then they asked me, did I have any previous notice and I said\nwell I fuzzed it a bit, forgotten exactly what I said and then - did I say I\ntalked with you last night about it?\nK: Well, that's what the news ticker brought, but you might well have -\nactually I don't remember that we talked about it.\nF: I don't think SO either and my best recollection is, Henry I didn't say\nI talked to you about it last night.\nK: Well to tell you the truth, all I saw was the news ticker and they may\nwell have run together two separate statements.\nF: And put it on the basis that you and I were together last night."
