Z: To say that I thought you were very good gutsy yesterday.

K: Aren't you nice.

Z: Very proud of you. You know what is like to have the SOB screaming in the room, but you were really gutsy in it. And just let me tell you in my view the impact was that in a way was very ....

K: Really.

Z: Of course, for heavens sake, the Secretary of State who has just returned from the Middle East. You know following movement of historic max proportions the trip to hold his first press conference to have maniacs like that screaming stuff like that. Just is not tolerated by people. I think I know what I am talking about on that, but on any event.

K: But they won't rest now until they have made me a Watergate figure.

Z: Well, no they won't. You watch. You could tell how it was played today. I wouldn't concern yourself with that. I thought you handled it well and it was very gutsy of you.

K: I appreciate it Ron.

K: Yes

R: Nelson. I took the liberty of calling back because after lunch I got Claire Luce aside to talk to her about that yesterday's question: yesterday's press conference to see if she reacted the way I did. She is a 100% in the same reaction namely to Luce that we are descend our need as a nation to protect our security is a must. So she was totally in agreement but from the point of national security and from your own posture, and I just thought I would let you know that because she is a pretty shrewdwoman.

K: I appreciate that. Well

R: That's all I have.

K: Well, it was as always very good to see you. Muskie asked me about it this morning at my hearing.

R: He did?

K: Yes and in a nice way so I could make a rather strong statement saying it was legal, it was done conducted and not only legally but properly and it concerned only national security.

R: And was that in an open hearing?

K: In an open hearing.

R: It was? I just think the posture of you depending the need for protection of our security, is a very powerful one. Okay, I just wanted to be sure having taken that sure a strong position this morning that I had a reaction of someone who is public relations reaction who I trust and hers are awfully smart.

K: Well I appreciate it.

R: You're great.

K: Thank you Nelson, it was great to see you.

R: Well, thanks so much.

S: Yes sir.

K: How are you Senator?

S: Fine, thank you very much. Thank you very much for calling. I had hoped I would have a chance to see you before the Law of the Sea Conference starts the 20th. But I guess in view of your schedule, that would be very difficult for you.

K: Well, ugh, I am going away with the President again, and I am practically drowning in work.

S: Sure. Well I think basically the main points that I wanted to make were that I think that whatever our instructions, I think that you have received or will be receiving recommendations in that respect from .... there certainly maybe some situations some in particular areas where we will meet to go somewhat further in the hopes of getting to near an agreement this summer if possible.

K: But could you sum these issues up in a memo for me.

S: Yes. They are and I will and it may be in the course of the summer the most practical thing for me to do is come home and talk to you at that point when the situation is clearer than it is now.

K: Good, but I would appreciate a summary memo now of everything.

S: Certainly, we will do that.

K: Good.

S: And the other point I did want to make very briefly is that we are now working very closely with the Soviets, who have been most cooperative I was in Moscow 10 days ago and it maybe that this will come up in the course of your trip, but I think it would be very helpful if you could indicate. We appreciated this way.

K: Yes, but you would have to tell me what the issues are, I can't just give a general endorsement.

S: Sure, sure. All right we will get that to you in a memo too.

K: Good I would appreciate.

K: How did things go ?

S: I thought they went absolutely super. I was sorry that you couldn't make the luncheon out at my house, it was great, but we ate out in the terrace and they ate it up. But we really filled their plate with more than they could handle.

K: That is much better than the opposition.

S: Absolutely. And they are going back with a great enthusiasm. I guess most of them go back tomorrow morning. Alanie is going to move out to my house tomorrow and spend the weekend with me.

K: Oh, terrific. Amonie satisfied?

S: Oh perfectly and so is Nasar. It really is super. And I even sold them on the idea of investing in their funds and they want me to do it outside the context of this. They want to do it direct, Treasury to their Fiancée people, which suits us perfectly.

K: Good.

S: So everything is just perfect. They got so excited this morning at one point in the meeting that they are sending their chief petroleum economist over here next week and he is going to stay as long as possible. I was giving him all this business on the nationalization of profits. Why they wanted to get into oil prices, oil supply and demand.

K: Well that was what I was hoping.

S: We had quite a discussion on that.

K: I was hoping they would come to that on their own.

S: And they did, and I gave them the whole pitch. Then Amonie and I rode out to my house together with Akins and with gave it to them some more. We really had just a grand time, and I think it is a great success Henry.

K: Good. Well that is my impression too from the dinners and everything else.

S: I just wanted to give you this before you met with Prince Fahd.

K: Thank you Ron. How nice to hear from you.

R: Well, I wanted to do if for a long time. What kind of xxx breakfast cereal do you eat?

K: Why?

R: That sounds like a back-breaking schedule that is just inhuman.

K: That's true.

R: That xxx must have been really something.

K: Oh, it was exhausting.

R: Well, it was a very wonderful thing, I can tell you that. And I also had to call to ask you about something. I've put it off calling knowing you must when you come home of literally have to go into a de-compression chamber. But I had a call from a prominent gentleman out here with Pacific lighting - a Jack Miller. And they're deeply involved with Indonesia. When I was there when that natural gas thing was signed in Jakarta on that last trip and he wanted to know if I could call and ask if he could call your office and if he could make an appointment. It has to do with our country and natural gas and Indonesia. I did gather when I was out there at the signing where the Japanese got the....

K: Yes.

R: The American businessmen who were there expressed to me that with some of our agencies in Washington, part of our problems were excessive red tape. Now I don't know whether that's what he wants to talk about.

K: I don't question that.

R: But I don't know whether that's what he wants to talk about or not, but would it be alright if I told Jack Miller it would be alright that he could call in regard to see you?

K: I can't do it before the middle of July. I'm going off with the President tomorrow.

S: I want to welcome you back.

K: Thank you. I hope the reports I read our correct that you're
going to take the Chairmanship.

S: I look forward to it.

K: I look forward to working very closely with you.

S: The same here and I want to commend you on the tremendous job you did
over there. Are you rested? I don't see how you can be.

K: I'm getting there.

S: I apologize for calling you about this but a bunch of people who operate in my state asked me to do it. I understood that they have asked for an appointment with you. I don't know whether it's any special time or not. They're a bunch of aluminum company companies. There's a man named John Harper, representing Alcoa; Richard Reynolds, representing Reynolds metal company, Cornell Feyer, representing Kaiser Aluminum Company, John Place, representing Anaconda Copper Company and then two companies which I don't have the names of the representatives is Alcan, I think that's a Canadian Aluminum Company and then the Revere, I think is a copper company. All of these operate in my state, I believe, but anyhow they asked me to call and just recommend that they be given an appointment with you for which I understood they applied. I know nothing about, I won't make it clear, I know nothing about what they want, but I presume it has to do with trade.

K: I would suspect maybe bauxite.

S: Oh, maybe.

K: That's what I would suspect.

S: That's probably what it is. And as I say, I know nothing about, they didn't tell me, but they did tell me that they had asked for a chance to sit down and talk with you and he asked me if I would put in a word for them and that's all I'm doing.

K: OK. I appreciated this and I will do my very best to see them.

S: Fine. Let me say I had a call a couple of days ago, no, it was just yesterday, I believe, from, I believe he was an NBC man or maybe a newpaper,

K: Alex (Valerioni).

S: Yes. And he wanted to quiz me about my and Casey Casey's checking into you, remember that?

K: Oh, yes.

S: I suppose, I don't know, it's a matter of wire tapping. I told him the whole thing was on the record and it is, there in the Committee, that we had gone into it then thoroughly, we had seen the transcript of the FBI papers and that we found that you had nothing to do with anybody's wire tapping and I explained to him just what you did to us that Hoover asked you for a list of names of those who were privy to the secrets of the NSC and that you gave us, when you were connected with the NSC, and that you gave him those names. You did not know what he wanted it for or anything else. So, he seemed satisfied. I don't know whether it can out or anything or not. I wanted you to know about it.

K: I appreciate it, when was this, today?

S: No, it was about two days ago.

K: I appreciate this very much.

S: He seemed satisfied. I told him that Casey and I went into it thoroughly and we were convinced you had no reason at no time had anything to do with anybody's wire tapping and didn't even know about them.

K: Well, I appreciate this.

S: OK.

K: That's Thank you,
