I don't know.\nK: The point that was made to me when the President was there he was refused\nto see senior people and he remembers it WX of course. If they are received,\nif conversations XNX could be kept SO that they cannot be used it would help\npolitical discussions we are planning. This is personal advice and no an official\nrequest. I thought you may want to see the comments I made on our relations\nat the backgrounder today, which you will find constructive.\nD: Have you already typed it?\nK: I will have a copy sent over. I have not seen it yet. As soon as it's done.\nFinally and most importantly (something about the M. E. ) but because you felt\nthere was some urgency.\nD: I will invite you.\nK: The President would be prepared to have me discuss with you some of the general\nproposals and formulations and in the meantime we should avoid matters to\naggravate the military situation there. Some ideas you have discussed the other\nday he is considering in a positive spirit and I will say more to you on the 7th.\nD: Off the record, if something could be more completely now -- it is important\nbased on Soviet/American relations and would be good to discuss concrete --\nK: I am doing something on this. Berlin( have worked out).\nD: Strategic.\nK: I will give it to you on the 7th. We have made a preliminary xixxnxx\ndecision.\nD: I will wait to have the usual dinner with you.\nK: I want you to know on general background. In my backgrounder I said settlement\nin the M. E. not possible because it was not in the interest of the Soviets. (But that\nwas just as a diversion.)\nD: Send it in a personal envelope to me.\nK: Merry Christmas and wee you on the 7th.\nD: I hope you will see your children.\nK: They are coming to the W. Coast with me."
