Kissinger, can you get me General Scowcroft urgently?
I've called.
It's very urgent, because I'm holding up a whole party.
The Commander Howe is in my office.
John, I suppose we haven't informed anybody about our announcement tomorrow.
Yes.
Somebody has to think of this thing.
Now, will you do a back channel to Ingersoll, to Bunker, to LaPete?
and tell them to tell their principals at what time they're going to make this announcement, give them the text, and say it's a regular consultation in the aftermath of further Vietnam settlement.
And will you get that out this evening?
Now wait a minute now, who wants to be to Korea, Japan?
You might let the French know.
Take care of it.
Oh, you might let Godly tell Zubana and Swank.
Okay?
But it should be closely held.
And that it's done in the spirit of contributing to peace in nature.
Oh, and we have to tell Tymon.
Call the doctor.
Wait, I've got to go with you.
Yes.
Okay, wait a minute.
They're all leaving.
All right, I'll check with you when I get in.
Bye.
