TELCON
Amb. Dobrynin/Mr. Kissinger
7:15 p.m., July 21, 1972
K:
Hello, Anatol.
D:
Oh, yes. Hello, Henry.
K:
I have one thing. I have this maniac Sonnenfeldt in Moscow.
D:
Yes, but you highly recommend him.
K:
And he's already talked to Kornevko (sp) and he's talking to
Kuznetsov and Aleksandrov next week and all of this is great.
I just want to make sure that you understand that he doesn't
know anything about the Middle East though he will pretend that
he does.
D:
All right, really. I sent the day before yesterday a special
telegram referring that he is a man well versed (?) to deal with
specifically the trade two questions but I specifically referred
to your remark that Peterson and only tow of them are in trust
so maybe they
K:
That's all right, but he knows nothing about the Middle East
discussions; he knows nothing about the Vietnam discussions.
D:
So what you're warning --
K:
My warning is for Christ's sake not to tell him what you and I
discussed on the Middle East.
D:
Only Middle East?
K:
Middle East and Vietnam.
D:
And Vietnam, fine.
K:
He just doesn't know it and you know, he will pretend that he knows
everything and he will try to pump your people for information.
D:
I understand. Okay. You have it that he's going to see Kuznetsov
and Aleksandrov?
K:
Yes, I have nothing against that.
D:
No, no; Understand.
