MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT
THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
FROM: Patrick J. Buchanan
August 10, 1971
If the Conference is spontaneous, as of now I would project the
following questions -- relatively evenly balanced between domestic
and foreign:
FOREIGN:
1)
RN view of Thieu shenanigans in the Vietnam elections
2)
U.S. position if Taiwan stays and China refuses to enter
the United Nations? Is that acceptable?
3)
RN assessment of India-Soviet Pact and its meaning for
peace?
4)
Middle East assessment in light of Sisco visit?
5)
Is U.S. negotiating secretly as RN hinted last week?
6)
What is military situation in Vietnam today, in light of
Bunker conversations. What did RN and Bunker discuss?
7)
SALT in light of reported new Soviet missiles?
8)
Nuclear Missile subs in Cuba?
DOMESTIC
1)
Economy. However, here I would think they would ask
more precisely about a wage-price review board, or zero
in on the problems of the dollar abroad. This is topical
and they already have a hatful of RN's statistics as well as
RN's assessment of how the economy is doing. Unless RN
is ready to make a different or new assessment of how the
economy is going - - it is difficult to see how we can get a
"new lead" on the economy.
2)
Congress. RN's assessment of its performance, almost
certain, if RN leads in as HRH suggested he might; i.
,
"in light of fact Congress is gone, etc.
