B: Had yourself a busy time in the west. The Bruce appointment is great.
I
know you are in the tiresome attitutde of practically having to give away
the government, He is even more than a Democrat.
predecessor
K: His party association was bad enough but his (expertise) over his SXLXCXCXEXSKSKCXIX
was even more untenable.
B: You are probably way ahead of me. The problem of sorting out the negotiation
on the economic side. I know in my own experience we couldn't get a good
grasp on this. No one in the Pentagon or Department with the occasional excep-
tion of Bill Sullivan ever made it serious business. In the XXXXX next few weeks
people who think the Administration is on the right track, that feel there's an
opportunity there and fox it is not getting the leadership it needs
K: That dawned on us 4 weeks ago. We have sent Chuck Cooper of Rand -- he
has impressed me most in economic analisists -- he did a study here and now
we have sent him out as economic minister. He has promised us a report by
the beginning or mid-August.
B: I suspect you have a need for funding there and a
sense of the
economic pick-up that will probably give you a legislative problem. That leads
me to say - 04 I had dinner with Gene Black -- and it became clear that he thinks
the Preside nt is on the right track and he has a wider opportunity to persuade
Congress and possibly for being an economic Bruce. Attach him to ? ? ? ?
and let him go back and forth.
K: That's something we should look into.
B: He has never failed to get something through Congress he has tried. You
will have to have new arrows and quiver. You have a Fulbright x problem but
he would be hard put if you did this. But he needs to be in the planning if it's
to be good.
K: I will see him in two or three weeks. On the M.E. where emotions have been
running rampant -- our basic objective was to support the peace move. The
Russians were saying they had no hands in any more, We had to get them in
it.
B: There's an internal problem over at State and they should have been able to
get that out. I haven't seen your backgrounder. It wasn't your tightest trick on
terms.
K: But you know what happens on TV.
