- Summary:
- Description: Report on relation between the White House and the State Department. President is the organ of decision-making for the Administration. His Cabinet is no more than an advisory committee. Triangle of Nixon, Kissinger and the staff of the National Security Council, and the State department. Nixon makes the decision and will draw advice from Kissinger backed up by the National Security Council into which the Departments of State and Defense, the CIA and other interested parties will feed input required by Kissinger. Nixon can then consult with Rogers, Melvin R Laird or Helms. Nixon has come to rely too heavily on Kissinger which has created serious bottleneck and undue delay followed by unnecessary haste. Elliot Richardson appointment to the State Department created a satisfactorily relationship between the White House and the State Department through the high affection and respect of Elliot Richardson and Henry Kissinger for each other. Since Richardson transference and William P. Rogers appointment, liaison between the White House and the State Department has crumbled. Richardson's position has now been filled by John Irwin.
