TELCON (Tape)
The President/Mr. Kissinger
Page 3
P:
And they will squeal and squirm.
K:
No question about that and I am confident that Abrams is going to
do the right thing.
P:
Abrams has just got to be told to do the right thing.
K:
Well, I've seen the cable that went out to him, Mr. President. I
made sure this time that there wasn't going to be any slip and we
put in this cable nobody gives a damn about how many helicopter
sorties they fly, we want to get an overall, confident appraisal
and I am sure he will do it.
P:
Right.
K:
And I also talked to Bill on the other operation just to make
absolutely sure and he was aware of it.
P:
Understood.
K:
And he is relaxed about it. And I have checked with all the public
information people and I've checked with Moorer and everybody else.
P:
The public information people, all of them who have the opportunity
should just stonewall it. I don't want Ziegler to say anything.
K:
Oh, no.
P:
I don't want him to say a damn word.
K:
On the second operation or on anything.
P:
No, no. Ziegler should say nothing about the reports, about the retreat
and all that sort of thing -- he should say not a goddamn word, he's
not available for anything. He knows nothing about it anyway.
K:
Exactly.
P:
But on the other hand, Henkin should. Let the Pentagon step up to
this.
K:
That's right. Well, the Pentagon -- that's the advantage of the Abrams
briefing, they can refer to that.
