    "ocrText": "TELECON\nJerry Schecter/Secretary Kissinger\nApril 23, 1974\n4:35 PM\nS: Hi, Henry, how are you?\nK: Jerry, how are you?\nS: Say, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you. That's terrific. I'm never\ngoing to joke with you again now.\nK: I give you a great scoop and you blow it.\nS: Well, you know, that's what happens when you try to realize that you're human.\nAnd try to let you have a little personal life. Everybody asked me why I wasn't\nin Acapulco and told them, well, I think I better let Henry take care of this one\nhimself.\nK: Were you going to offer technical assistance.\nS: I don't think you need any. At any rate, I think it's really great news and I'm\nreally delighted.\nK: That message I got about what you want to do, I think you got that (Reston)\narticle totally wrong. First of all, it's totally untrue that Bruce has requested\nto return and I have a long cable from him X in which he denies it, is outraged\nby the story and claims that he's very happy.\nS: If you believe that he'll tell you another one.\nK: No, Ibelieve it. I tixk talked to him about before he left. Secondly, the fact\nof the matter is, our China policy is absolutely on course now. Whatever of\nproblems of Chou maybe, the policy is totally on course.\nS: What does that mean?\nK: What it means is, that it is exactly on the course that it was outlined last\nNovember, that exchange programs will be starting again very soon and that all\nthe signals are positive and that the conversation with (Teng) was an extremely\npositive conversation -- really designed for reassurance. This is on the background.\nS: What about -- what do you mean starting soon ?\nK: Well, starting within the next month or SO.\nS: I see. I gather you also been seeing other Chinese too ?"
