Re:
Contingency Statement in the Event Side Trip
is Compromised
Should your side trip surface, confirmation of the trip
should be made from Washington following clearance with the
President. It is anticipated that members of the party will re-
frain from any comment. If they are confronted with direct
questions, their response should be "no comment. " In the event
of known compromise, General Haig or Colonel Kennedy should
be informed immediately of the circumstances. Only in the case
of a confirmed compromise and after approval of the President,
we would propose to release the following statement from the
Western White House:
"Dr.Kissinger is meeting with leaders of the Peoples
Republic of China at their request. There will be a statement
after Dr. Kissinger returns and reports to the President. 11
denial and sticking to the cover story of a visit to the Hill Station
in response to any speculation. Before the contingency statement
imade, Dr. Kissinger will be informed and his agreement obtained.
In the event of speculation which would quite naturally
precede a confirmed leak, there should be continued stonewall

AMBASSADOR FARLAND
FROM: HENRY A. KISSINGER
REF: Islamabad 1014
In order to maintain low visibility and ensure security, it
seems from here that several other options should be considered
for notifying MAC:
option 1 - On morning of July 10 when departure is delayed,
.sensitivities or other reasonable explanation, and, therefore, MAC
should be advised to delay arrival of C-141 by 24 hours.
you could inform Air Attache that you feel we should not have two large
US aircraft on ground at same time due to international diplomatic
would give impressionof continuous US presence. Therefore, a 24-
QEtion 2 - Air Attache could make routine request for post-
ponement now on grounds that arrival of another US aircraft on July 11
or 48-hour delay is requested to provide a break.
I leave it to your judgment as to which. method is preferable.
TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY
Please let me know if neither of these options is workable.
