K: I talked to Joe Kraft this morning who tells me that high officials with
whom I have confidence in have been talking about safeguards. Since there are
only two or three officials.
R: I was going to talke with him
K: I believe him because he is an old friend.
R: That's too bad.
K: I am sending over to you a paper I am sending to the President of the pros
and cons on the three choices we have.
R: I ixxaging imagine he will want to P ? ? ?
K: Acxect that he wants to avoid the impression that he was pushed into it.
R: But I think the Secy. of State has a responsibility to say what he thinks.
In this building we are in favor of option 2.
K: Me too
R: I hope what I am about to say won't percipitate a confrontation. I have con-
sidered the telegram to Ungar on Thailand. I want to re-write
K: I showed it to the President.
R: Oh, you did
K: I'm sorry. You did not get that word? I showed it to him on Saturday and he
would not have it.
R: I had another approach. I don't know whether his reaction precludes this
apparoach.
K: He said no discussions with Tinand on the possibilities of a Soviet orientation.
I wanted to get him at a calm moment to get his clearance.

R: Not knowing X had done this, I had the cable re-written to invite Ungar's
comments re U. S. - Thai relations and
relaxation
Thais toward the
Soviets. We would put it in the basis that this was in discussion with the Thais.
K: In the proposal that the President rejected on Saturday, no discussion with
the Thais on this subject. Why did you think this would produce a confrontation?
