[The decision was made to let NATO announce Haig.]
President: Wayne Hays said it is not good to send A1 to NATO. I said I made a commitment and would stick to it.
Kissinger: Goodpaster hasn't helped or been generous. Wayne Hays will be okay.
President: How about meeting with that group?
Kissinger: We are going the CRA route.
President: We still can offer credits.
Kissinger: It depends on whether to take on the Turkish aid cutoff. We brief on the Greek-Turkey situation and say why are you giving a generous interpretation to hold aid over the Turks. It would be the forthright thing to do.
President: I think we are sort of commmitted to the leadership. It would keep the good atmosphere of yesterday. Let's try to set it up.
