Schlesinger/Kissinger -2- 3/23/74 K: And in a way since we are not held to taking forces out. S: Listen I think we can get that kind of stuff out of our headquarters and what not. K: Exactly. It might even be a be tter way of doing it. S: Yea. We have positioned ourselves in negotiations far better than the Russians have in that regard, we've got more fat. K: Jim, one final thing. S: Maybe that's a disadvantage being SO combat heavy. K: I have the impression of some foot dragging by the Navy on that mine clearance and Ebare (sp? has now raised a number of questions. S: Well Ebare (?) K: Which I think the Navy put him up to. S: I don't think the Navy put them up to that. Ebare (?) we misses a bet there, and I don't know whose fault it is. At the time that State made that announcement we should have informed him previously. K: Oh sure. S: And a lot of that stuff I think is just a resentment of the bureaucratic situation. Now he is raising two questions. One question is, how can we send our sons to die on foreign soil. And the other question is, who the hell is going to fund this. Now on the funding side I think we will have to find a way of getting it out of the AID budget. K: Oh, Jim, the President is calling me on the other line. I will call you right back. S: Righto.
