K: I just got back a couple of hours ago and I have a telegram here from
Hanoi from Nygo Gin (phonetic). I don't know whether you know him or
not. I have been in touch with him for some time. It is about my previous
request for coming there. It is asking me to please outline questions
I would ask, places to visit and subject matter for your projected
visit so that we can make a decision on this proposed visit. I should
first tell you my groundrules. I will tell you everything that I am going
to do but I will write the story. I do not want to embarrass you. I would
appreciate you comments. But I do not want you to feel that you are
getting involved in this.
HAK: Before you go I would like to talk to you in some detail.
K: I am not sure that I am going. You know these guys.
HAK: You will go.
K: Let me read this to you. (reading) his reply). 1. bilateral relations
between Hanoi and Washington and the Nixon Administration
visit
to sites
2. Laos and Cambodia as seen by DRV
o
3future of
Southeast Asia and role of possible
and 4. daily life in DRV
including visits to schools, etc.
HAK: There is only one thing that I would like to have you change - the
view
of DRV to US XXXXXX Government policy rather than Nixon policy.
K: Right.
HAK: What time did you get back?
K: 2 hours ago.
HAK: I am anxious to talk to you on Chile. I thought your articles
on it were very perceptive. They run along my views.
K: I wanted to talk to you. How about the Harper's article? I have not seen
it.
HAK: I will call you on Monday. I have not seen it yet. General Haig's
son read it and called his father to tell him that he thought he had not been
dealt with fairly in it.
K: What!!
HAK: He said that in it he is saying things about me. Haig has gone
off to look at Cambodia and South Vietnam and will be back next week.
