MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
RICHARD V. ALLEN Jui
SUBJECT:
Memorandum from Al Haig on a Letter to Brezhnev
and his Forthcoming Meetings with Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromyko
Attached are two memoranda from Al Haig on two communications
with the Soviets next week: a letter from you to President
Brezhnev, and Al's meeting with Soviet Foreign Minister
Gromyko. (8)
The NSC staff cooperated with the State Department in drafting
your letter to Brezhnev and it will help us put some of the
public onus back on the Soviets, where it belongs. We will
work with State to determine how best to publicize the themes
of this letter both to other governments and to the public;
the letter itself would be delivered by our embassy in Moscow. 1ST
Al's approach to Gromyko is sound. He will let Gromyko know
that the rules of US-Soviet relations have shifted, and that
the United States will not acquiesce in Soviet attempts to
increase their power at our expense. 185
