Works for me, here's the relevant segment:

Esenbel: The Europeans should find ways to meet quick needs; for example, the Air Force needs spare parts. For other items that they can't find in the stocks, maybe you could make a deal with the Dutch or others to send it here.

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.

If it counts for anything, at least a journalist saw the relevant quote in the same link: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/about-that-kissing...

I got a 502 in Firefox but it worked in Safari.
