Senator Hollings is of the strong-defense wing of the Democratic Party, which sets him at odds with his President--and he's not afraid to say so. Today's conversation ranges from SALT II to the current status of NATO to the buildup of Soviet troops in Cuba and Aden. EFH: "Can we say why those troops are in Cuba, and how they're there and what's going on?" WFB: "I wish you would." EFH: "Well, I know you've got to give Secretary Kissinger credit for this one. During his time in the Administration there were suggestions from the National Security Council that we cut out the intelligence overflights--they were too expensive, all we needed to do was send satellites. Henry Kissinger said no, that would be a wrong signal, absolutely wrong. He said if you stop the overflights they'll start taking advantage. And surely enough, President Carter stopped the overflights and they took it as a wrong signal.... Our friend [CIA Director William] Colby says the three thousand [Soviet troops] would get lost in the traffic in Miami--I mean they're no real threat. I thought that was cute, but it misleads. The fact is, they're there to handle nuclear."
