Kissinger Video Interview
11. Can you describe what you call the saga of your shirts?
Henry Kissinger: One of the problems on these high level trips is little things like where do you get your motorcade and what do you do with your shirts. Do you have enough shirts along and do you dare to get it washed in the various local places and without having it shrunk to a point that you can't use it any more. Well anyway I put I think two or three shirts aside, put them in a separate bag, carefully preserved. But then my aide left it in Pakistan, so I not only had, I had simply had not shirt. And one of my associates who is about six feet three gave me his shirt, which made me look as if I had no neck. And top of everything else was made in Taiwan and had a label made in Taiwan. And I used to joke that when I said to the Chinese on that trip that Taiwan was close to me I really meant it.
