Let me review what's happened. Kennedy's man\ndid XX not make a copy of the list available. I thought he was going to.\nBut he did not. Then I said to Bruce 'did you ask him for it' and this is\nincredible, he said no. That's incomprehensible. Our most experienced\ndiplomat. Then I got Kennedy. He said he wanted to make the list avail-\nable. Habib reached Knowland at the airport and he has made it avail-\nable. Fulbright's man has also got a copy and he's coming back with it.\nSo we've got these two of them with lists, which will take the charge off\nKennedy.\nK: Oh yes, he and Fulbright and he are at each others' throats\nFulbright has actually been more responsible on this.\nR: We are going to point out that both of these things happened.\nAs far as we can tell the 339 is the same number we have\nbeen\noperating on the basis of. This information may not change what we've\nknown; we want no falst hopes raised.\nK: Zaegler is saying the same thing. He's going into no detail.\nR: I told McCloskey to give them a farily full rundown.\nK: That's right and we'll give the questions to you.\nR: Okay, another thing. I'm going to be asked tomorrow about\nthe understandings. The President put it in termsof \"Let there be no\nmisunderstanding\n11\nI have a little difficulty with what Mel has\nappeared to say.\nK: You are talking about Vietnam now?\nR: Yes.\nK: I thought you were still talking about Cuba. Okay I understand.\nR: I'm thinking of having something written on the understanding and\nI'11 send it over to you first.\nK: That might be the best way of doing it. If everyone does it, you,\nMel and over here, they might find one word changed in one version and\nmake something of the differences."
