  • Transcript of diary entry (PDF)
    Thursday, September 30.

    Staff meeting this morning was concerned with the Phase II situation. Shultz was particularly concerned that we're moving to an extensive control system and that the planners are working on the assumptions that the President has implied in his speeches. The Cost of Living Council is developing plans without authoritative guidance, and that the papers that they produce will be Stein's, without any guidance, and they'll need Presidential input before they're finalized. He feels that they need to get a pretty good idea set in the President’s mind, and in Connally's and Shultz’s as was the case before the Camp David meetings. He feels that we're not in that position now. He's also concerned that the President doesn't understand what Laird's doing regarding the Defense budget. As a result of this, we squeezed in a meeting with Shultz in the middle of a fantastically loaded schedule today.

    President met with the leaders of the national education organizations, with Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma, with Sir Alec Douglas Home, as well as with John Mitchell, several ceremonial picture-type deals, etcetera. We ran him much harder than we should, as we frequently do on these days before we leave on a trip. All of this, of course, was in anticipation of heading for Key Biscayne tonight. We had originally thought we'd have Shultz fly down with him to Key Biscayne, but changed that to the meeting at midday instead, which worked out, of course, much better.

    We got into quite a thing on a statement from the President regarding the federal pay raise, since Congress is going to vote on it on Monday, and they felt they needed a blast from the President. A draft of the statement from OMB had no teeth in it at all. President was quite distressed with it, and we finally got Buchanan to do a tough political statement that really blasted the Congress, which is what the President was after all along.

    This afternoon, the President had a reception for Doug Cornell on the occasion of his retirement from AP, and the big surprise there was Mrs. Nixon's announcement of Cornell's engagement to Helen Thomas. All this was handled in great style by both the President and Mrs. Nixon, and they sure should've scored strongly with the press as a result.

    We had quite a discussion in the plane on the way down about how to handle the notification to Rogers of Henry's China trip. President said that it was up to me to notify Rogers, and that I should do it by mixing it with the Soviet trip and the fact that we can't change the signals now, after the meeting with Gromyko. But he says that I should wait until Sunday to call Rogers, so that it's too late to do anything about it.

Haig approved it and Holdridge’s recommendation that it be sent to the Departments of State and Defense and the CIA. Kissinger met with Souvanna on October 1. At one point, Kissinger stated that he considered the Soviet Union’s attitude toward Laos to be ambivalent: “it was not in the USSR’s interest to leave a vacuum in Southeast Asia that China could fill, so he thought the USSR would like to see independent countries in Laos and Cambodia.” (Ibid., Box 549, Country Files, Far East, Laos, 1 July–31 Dec 1971)

The meeting was held at the Soviet Embassy. Lord and Rodman submitted this memorandum and another summarizing it for the President to Kissinger on October 4. Kissinger forwarded the package to Nixon the next day; notes on both memoranda indicate that the President saw them. In the summary memorandum for the President, Kissinger commented: “In sum, I believe that our conversations with Gromyko have been extremely important ones, and Dobrynin tells me that Gromyko shares this assessment. We can expect the Soviets, even in this new ‘positive’ line, to be pursuing their own interests, driving hard bargains for their friends, and doing their normal amount of tactical elbowing. But the prospects and interplay of your two summit meetings give us useful leverage. If we play our cards right, we can hope for some constructive results.” (Ibid.)
