  • China, October 1971–February 1972
    1323_A26-A31 8/1/06 10:18 AM Page 495 310-567/B428-S/11004 China, October 1971–February 1972 161. Editorial Note President Richard Nixon and his Assistant for National Security Affairs, Henry Kissinger, discussed the February 1972 visit to the Peo- ple’s Republic of China (PRC) through a series of messages and con- versations during and immediately after Kissinger’s October 1971 trip to the PRC. On October 20 Alexander M. Haig sent a telegram to Kissinger: “The President via Haldeman asked me to convey to you on an urgent basis the following message. He did not give any explanation although I sensed it is related to the imagery problem with which we are so well acquainted: He wishes you to insure that in discussing the agenda with your hosts a specific time is arranged for two private head- to-head meetings between, in one instance, the President and Mao with no one in attendance other than interpreters, and in the second instance, with Chou En-lai under identical circumstances. I was asked to con- vey this to you as soon as possible and would be grateful if you could confirm for the President if and when this has been accomplished.” (Na- tional Archives, Nixon Presidential Materials, NSC Files, Box 1035, Files for the President—China Material, China, HAK’s October 1971 Visit) Kissinger’s response, received in the White House on October 21, reads: “Please tell Haldeman to rest his fevered brain. Our hosts have one or two other things on their minds. Private meetings will be arranged, although I am bound to say anything except the most for- mal meeting along with Chou is a major mistake.
