FROM: Ambassador Ingersoll, Tokyo
Henry A. Kissinger
I pursued the matter of a private contact for the White House, a point
which you had raised with the Prime Minister at Karuizawa and which
you urged me to pursue at Hawaii.
2. He again replied that he would like to have me make the private
contact with him whenever necessary and he will do the same through
me if he wishes to send a private message to .the White House.
.3. If the contact is not quite so sensitive, he says that contact
can be made through his private secretary, Konaga. He reiterated
the fact that he has no other private contact that he would like to use
for messages between the White House and himself.
4. If you have any other suggestions on this subject, I should be glad
to pursue them.
