Kissinger transcripts ruled government property in suit
A federal judge held that the United States owns Kissinger telephone transcripts from 1968 to 1973 while he served as national security adviser and secretary of state. The court ordered the notes returned to the State Department, rejecting Kissinger's claim they were personal.
