[0:00] Kissinger, can you get me General Scowcroft urgently?
[0:15] I've called.
[0:16] It's very urgent, because I'm holding up a whole party.
[0:22] The Commander Howe is in my office.
[0:30] John, I suppose we haven't informed anybody about our announcement tomorrow.
[0:49] Yes.
[0:52] Somebody has to think of this thing.
[0:53] Now, will you do a back channel to Ingersoll, to Bunker, to LaPete?
[1:00] 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.
[1:15] And will you get that out this evening?
[1:18] Now wait a minute now, who wants to be to Korea, Japan?
[1:24] You might let the French know.
[1:32] Take care of it.
[1:34] Oh, you might let Godly tell Zubana and Swank.
[1:38] Okay?
[1:39] But it should be closely held.
[1:41] And that it's done in the spirit of contributing to peace in nature.
[1:47] Oh, and we have to tell Tymon.
[1:49] Call the doctor.
[1:50] Wait, I've got to go with you.
[1:51] Yes.
[1:52] Okay, wait a minute.
[1:54] They're all leaving.
[1:55] All right, I'll check with you when I get in.
[1:57] Bye.
