# Kissinger 'Roasts' Carter at Picnic for Holt

BAY RIDGE, Md. — A hawkish-sounding Henry Kissinger attended his first Maryland “bull roast” yesterday and used the occasion to deliver a stinging attack on what he said was the Carter administration’s neglect of the nation’s military defenses.

The former secretary of state had come to the roast, at a suburban Annapolis country club on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, to help raise money for Rep. Marjorie S. Holt, a conservative Republican from Anne Arundel County.

He lashed out at President Carter, saying he had scrapped strategic missile programs and abandoned America's "real"

friends around the world.

"We are colluding in making the world safe for anti-American radicals," he said. "Our real friends are not the radicals but the moderates who believe in peaceful change and a market economy."

It was a hard-line speech all the way for Kissinger, criticizing administration efforts to resume strategic arms negotiations that he had begun during his own tenure as secretary of state.

At least one observer thought Kissinger sounded like he was boosting his own candidacy for secretary of state should former California Gov. Ronald Reagan be elected president in November.

"He might be running for secretary of state in the next administration," said

state Sen. John A. Cade, R-Anne Arundel.

Not at all, Kissinger said during an impromptu press conference after his 15-minute speech, noting that Reagan himself had ruled out a Kissinger return to Foggy Bottom.

"I'm doing this because I think it's important for the country that the Republican ticket win this year," he said. "I have nothing personal to gain. I don't see any role for myself (in a Reagan presidency)."

Sen. Charles McC. Mathias, R-Md., stood nearby and was quick to disagree. "I can't think of anybody better qualified" for Reagan to appoint, he announced.

Reagan asks advice
from Kissinger

*** SEP 5 1980

MIDDLEBURG, Va. (AP) — Ronald Reagan, who says Secretary of State Edmund Muskie is too political, looked for some campaign advice today from one of Muskie's predecessors — Henry A. Kissinger.

The meeting at Reagan's 46-acre estate was the first between the two men since the Republican convention, where Kissinger was a negotiator for Gerald R. Ford during Reagan's attempt to sign the former president on as his running mate.

When the Ford talks collapsed, some Reagan aides privately blamed Kissinger, saying he tried to wrest too many concessions from the GOP nominee.

Richard Allen, Reagan's chief foreign policy adviser, said, however, there is no strain between the Reagan camp and the former secretary of state: "There are no hard feelings, none at all," Allen said Thursday.

Allen noted that Kissinger has promised to campaign for Reagan, and added, "We expect that he will. I think he'll do a lot to elect the ticket."

Kissinger, at the convention, said Reagan would be a competent leader in foreign affairs, and said that his and the candidate's views on foreign policy were compatible.

Kissinger was among those Reagan cited Thursday at the same time he criticized Muskie.

"Under the Carter administration," Reagan said, "America's foreign and defense policies have been politicized as never before.

"The secretary of state openly describes himself as a 'political' secretary, not at all reluctant to do the Carter administration's bidding," Reagan said.

"It's as though he is standing in line to volunteer," he added. "It represents a shocking break with the tradition of that high office, unworthy of the standards set by his predecessors, such as Secretaries Stettinius, Marshall, Acheson, Dulles, Rusk, Rogers, Kissinger and Cyrus Vance, to name a few."

However, in a speech he recited three times during the day in Jacksonville, Fla., and New Orleans, Reagan reserved his harshest criticism for Defense Secretary Harold Brown.

He blamed Brown for being behind an administration leak of "some of the most tightly classified, most highly secret weapons information since the Manhattan project" — the recent disclosure of a breakthrough in technology to hide U.S. bombers from Soviet radar.

Brown, in testimony on Capitol Hill Thursday, said press reports about the technology, known as "Stealth," made it impossible to keep it secret any longer.
