It is just a little\nsouvenir of one of our Latin friends. K: It is lovely - very nice.\nI am hanging it in my office because I am spending more time there\nthan I do at home and I am very grafeful to you. R: You know how\nwe feel about you. You are a dear friend and someone we love and\nadmire.\nI: I want you to know that I feel very much the same about you and I\nwant you to know that everything I may do here I do because of what\nI learned from you.\nR: We know that you are doing a tremendous job there with the ground\nconstantly slipping from under you. K: It was slipping there for awhile\nbut I think we are bringing it back. R: You do? K: I thing it is going\nto be rough. We have got a tough opponent there. R: That's right.\nK: And they are not going to get easy. But I think we have a fair chance\nnow and you know a few months ago it looked as though the whole thing\nwas going to come unraveled.\nR: Henry, did you ever talk to Buckley? K: No because he has been in\nJamaica. R: William White had a very good column. I don't know\nwhether you saw it, the other day, on my support of Nixon and our\nworking together.\nK: The President told me I could talk to Buckley on your behalf and\nhe would be behind it too. R: There is one angle I think you ought to\nknow and that is they have to have more than 50,000 people on the\ntop line in order to keep their position. They are in third spot; they\ndon't want to go to fourth and they feel they have to run somebody on\nthat line. I think we will change the law SO that they can gather their\n500 or anyone of the top line which means they can do it in the Senate.\nK: Right after the first I am going to have a talk with Bill and urge that\nyou two get together or maybe that I join you. It might be better if\nI were not physically present but I will have a long time with him\nHe is on your side. You are his candidate for Secretary of State SO\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."
