Buckley had scheduled a meeting with five\nBorough leaders to discuss this very same problem. B said the situation now\nis such that the gap between Procaccino and Lindsay is SO great that it would\nbe difficult to close it -- there is a 16 point gap now. They are reluctant to\ndo it unless the gap closes. Buckley agreed on the President's point completely\nthe foreign policy aspect and will report to K on the results of the meeting\ntomorrow kix with the Borough leaders.\n#2 - K thought it was possible that the NVN may release some prisoners in\norder to difuse things but we have no indication.

The only problem is that\nRogers rather committed himself in his conversation with Dobrynin on Wednesday.\nThe President said Sisco should just drag his feet and if more problems come\nup -- tell Sisco that he wants to see everything on this befodre it goes out.

A. speech. He marked it up and indicated places where cuts could be made.\nIt must be cut. He felt that txt it still didn't emphasize strongly enough that\nthe time for slogans and promises has ended and the time for action has come.\nHe offers no slogans and offers no promises. In terms of a slogan, the\nPresident thought \"Action for Progress for the Americas\" rather than Alliance.\nThe President wanted the speech redone with those changes. He said that they\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
