Esenbel: The Europeans should find ways to meet quick needs; for
example, the Air Force needs spare parts. For other items that they

Macomber: That is illegal.
Kissinger: Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at
meetings, "The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a
little longer." [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act,
I'm afraid to say things like that.
