Schlesinger had excellent grounds for circumspection. Not only had he learned that Nixon had asked the Joint Chiefs ''whether in a crunch there was support to keep him in power,'' but he had also been told the following by Joseph Laitin, public affairs spokesman of the Office of Management and Budget. On his way to the West Wing in the spring of 1974, Laitin recalls:

''I'd reached the basement, near the Situation Room. And just as I was about to ascend the stairway, a guy came running down the stairs two steps at a time. He had a frantic look on his face, wild-eyed, like a madman. And he bowled me over, so I kind of lost my balance. And before I could pick myself up, six athletic-looking young men leapt over me, pursuing him. I suddenly realized that they were Secret Service agents, that I'd been knocked over by the president of the United States.''

It is a genuinely good speech

The Mote in God's Eye

Dear Mr. Ho Chi Minh

I wanted to write you this letter as soon as possible. I have a plan to end the war in Vietnam, but it will require some subterfuge on both our parts.

So I'm gonna start talking smack about you publicly and doing some very aggressive things, while at the same time saying you should do what we want and also let's be friends. The important thing here is to IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAY PUBLICLY, both good and bad. I have to talk tough to please the conservatives in my party, and the good stuff is just what the state department and it's head (a personal friend of mine who I apparently don't trust at all) is doing as I direct them to. Just remember, ignore those guys. While I may *talk* tough, (publicly, not privately, though if I'm tough in private I mean it) you may notice I am vveerryy slloowwlly doing what you want. I have to do this slowly, because conservatives in my party again.

And while that's going on, just a heads up, I may lash out very aggressively at anybody I perceive as friends of yours or helping you, regardless if they are a victim of circumstance or not. I'm doing this to show you what a mean dude I am and how you want to be rid of me sooner rather than later. Speaking of me being a madman, I may sometimes react wildly out of proportion in these secret negotiations, and attack you very aggressively for a time, while still doing what you want me to do, because international prestige, face, etc.

Just so we're clear on it, I know you want me to leave. What I want from you is to say "I won't attack and take over this completely useless ally of yours." I know you've made it very clear you have no intention at all of doing that. That's fine; I just want you to say it. That way when you do what you want to do, I can stand back and say "well, you broke the treaty, typical communist" and nobody will blame me. Speaking of blame, I'm gonna offer you a several billion dollar a year foreign aid package as a condition for not attacking my lame duck ally. We both know drat well you won't collect it, but some people may accuse me of abandoning my weak and useless ally, and I want to be able to say "not me."

Anyway, I think that's about it. I gotta get back to faking diplomatic cables to show my political nemesis order the assassination of the previous head of our useless ally, and planting a political opponent's campaign literature in the apartment of a would-be assassin who tried to assassinate one of my political opponents who I stuck a deal with and is secretly working for me.

Remember, the secret negotiations are the important ones, even though they are very similar to the public ones.

Best,
Richard Milhouse Nixon
