FOR. HENRY A. KISSINGER
FROM BRENT SCOWCROFT
THERE IS STILL SOME DISORDER HERE IN GETTING READY FOR TTB
TECHNICAL TALKS WITH THE SOVIETS BY MAY 29.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT WE HAVE JUST FLOATED THE 29TH
WITH THE BUREAUCRACY AND SCHLESINGERs.WHILE NOT BALKING, IS ACTING
SLIGHTLY AS IF HE MAY THINK WE HAVE BEEN MANUEVERING BEHIND HIS
BACK. TO BEGIN TALKS ON THE.29THs WE WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE
DELEGATION TOGETHER WITH INSTRUCTIONS BY THE END OF THE DAY TODAY,
GIVEN THE LONG WEEKEND COMING UP. IT CAN BE OONEP BUT NOW
WITHOUT. MAKING IT A BIT OF A CRASH OPERATION, AND THEREBY
RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY WE NEED TO BEGIN ON THE 29TH.
WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE ON THE INSTRUCTIONS, BUT WE DO NOT YET

HAVE A CHAIRMAN FOR THE DELEGATION. STOESSFIs WHO.WAS SUGGESTED IN
TOHAK 266 AS A POSSIBILITY, HAS MET WITH OBJECTIONS FROM ACrA
AND DEFENSE. WE COULD PERHAPS USE HIM. AS TITULAR CHAIRMAN,
WITH ACDA AND AEC DEPUTIES WHO WOULD ACTUALLY RUN THINGS. THERE
IS NO "NATURAL" AT HAND TO ACT AS DELEGATION CHAIRMAN. MY
OWN FEELING IS THAT, IDEALLY, EITHER AEC OR ACDA'SHOULD.CHAIR
THE GROUP, BUT THEIR TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT TYPES ARE FAIRLY
ON-FILE NSC RELEASE
INSTRUCTIONS APPLY
JUNIOR. IKLE WOULD GIVE US, PROBLEMS. DIXIE LEE RAY WILL BE
SUGGESTING AN AEC NOMINEE TO ME LATER. TODAY, HAROLD BRAWN IS A POS
IBILITYs BUT WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK.

ALL SAYING I WOULD ANYu
HAVE A FEW MORE DAYS TO SORT THINGS OUT AND TO AVOID ACCUSATIONS OF "RAILROADING". WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF MY ASKING.OOBRYNTN
IF WE CAN START THE TALKS ON JUNE 3 RATHER MAY 29? (HYLAND
SUGGESTS THAT, AS AN ALTERNATIVE WE COULD OFFER TO,HAVE THE
SOVIETS COME HEREs THUS AUTOMATICALLY GIVING US A FEW MORE HAYS.)
REQUEST YOUR GUIDANCE SOONEST.
WARM REGARDS.
