Memorandum From Secretary of State Rogers to President Nixon, Washington, October 6, 1969
Abstract
Washington, October 6, 1969
Rogers thought prospects for achieving agreement on relief arrangements were not good, nor was there evidence that either side was prepared to make the concessions required for meaningful negotiations. He outlined a number of “further steps.”

In an October 8 memorandum for Kissinger, Haig said that Morris thought Rogers' memo completely misrepresented the issues; Morris was preparing a memorandum on it for Kissinger. (Ibid., Nixon Presidential Materials, NSC Files, Subject Files, Items to Discuss With the President, 8/13/69-12/30/69)
