Freeman/Kissinger\n5:48 pm\n12/2/70\nF: I only wanted to take 15 seconds of your time to say that next week I will\nbe in xxxxx London but I wonder if subject to pressures of today if you could\nfind 10 minutes to have John Thompson greet you.\nK: I counted on half an hour.\nF:\nThe Priced Prime Minister is taking close personal interest in this and\nhe will feel better if you *xxxx take time to see him.\nK: Be glad to. Is the trip under control? Who will go to Camp David? You\ntell me who Prime Minister wants there.\nF: I don't have that established. I am dealing with Mosbacker and so you will\nbe asked who the President will bring.\nK: We want to know who the Prime Minister wants there.\nF: I think -- I am perturbed that Annenberg is coming over. So the Prime\nMinister, Foreign Secy., and Bert Brend.\nK: So the Secy. of State and myself.\nunder\nF: That would seem sensible and I could axxexix take that that would be\nacceptable to us. I don't know and maybe you don't, whether the Prime\nMinister wants part of the time in absolute privacy.\nK: How would I?\nF: No, I mean the President. Purely political talk.\nK: That might not be bad. He hasn't focused. I think they should be alone\npart of the time but I wondered about the record.\nF: Make a distinction between subjects that would be on record and those\nthat they can discuss alone. Then I can steer the PM in the right direction.\nK: The President plans to have me present for a meeting with the Prime\nMinixter and Trend in the oval office. Then Camp David as you suggest.\nMaybe the President and Prime Minister could take a little walk. The\nPresident is planning to stay for lunch and leave after.\nF: We are told that. One other point -- They are now going to have plenty\nof time together with the Rxxxx Camp David added on. It might be a good\nidea if we use the same technique as when\nwas there to invite them\nout of the oval office for lunch. That gave a better understanding of not"
