Record of Telephone Conversation Between M. S. Gorbachev and President of the United States George Bush

Bush. Secondly, I would like to mention with appreciation, that you were very generous to give so much time for your conversation with Henry Kissinger. Ina couple of days my assistant [Brent] Scowcroft will invite him to the White House in order to be informed about that conversation in detail, although we already know some details.
