TO: JERRY BREMER/PETER RODMAN
FOR: HENRY A. KISSINGER
FROM., BRENT SCOWCROFT
THE PRESIDENT CALLED TO ASK HOW YOU WERE DOING. I SAID THAT
YOU HAD FORMULATED PROPOSALS TO RESOLVE THE REMAINING ITEMS
AND THAT YOU HAD MORE OR LESS GIVEN THE PARTIES AN ULTIMATUM
REGARDING YOUR DEPARTURE IN AN ATTEMPT TO TERMINATE THE END:
LESS HAGGLING. HE ASKED ABnUT THE."SWEETENER" FOR THE ISRAELIS
AND I SAID I WAS NOT AWARE THAT YOU HAD YET USED IT. IN TALKING
WITH SADAT ABOUT THE MERITS OF A TRIP, THE PRESIDENT'WANTED
YOU TO BE AWARE--AND PERHAPS SADAT ALSO--THAT IF HE DID NOT-
COME BEFORE THE SOVIET SUMMIT IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE
POSSIBLE TO MAKE A TRIP BEFORE NOVEMBER. FOLLOWING THE SUMMITS
HE SAID, THERE WOULD BE THE WATERGATE BUSINESS AND THEN
THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN.
DEFENSE WOULD LIKE TO SEND A NEW TASK FORCE INTO THE INDIAN
OCEAN A80UT JULY 1p HEADED BY THE CRUISER CHICAGO-
I CHIDED BILL SIMON ABOUT STEALING PERSONNEL FROM US. HE
SAID HE WAS NOT AWARE THAT COOPER WAS STILL GOING TO WORK
IN THE NSC--HE THOUGHT'HE WAS SCHEDULED TO MOVE COMPLETELY
OVER TO CIEP. SIMON ADDED THAT WHEN FLANIGAN TOLD HIM COOPER
HAD DECIDED NOT TO TAKE THE CIEP JOB BUT TO RETURN TO
CIVILIAN LIFEs HE THOUGHT HE SHOULD TRY TO KEEP HIM IN THE
GOVERNMENT AND OFFERED HIM THE TREASURY JOB. I HAVE NO REASON
TO THINK THAT IS NOT THE FULL STORY OF BILL'S INVOLVEMENT.
