D: I hope you arrived on time at your office last night.
K: You should know with your intelligence network.
D: Yes, but I received mixed reports. According to one you want
straight to your office; according to the others you went other places.
K: You keep only the agents who said I went to my office. The others
aren't worth their pay.
D: But the other things sounded too official.
K: I'll let you know when I am doing something unofficial. I am going
to send over some partial comments.
D: That would be helpful.
K: On the draft.
D: I remember.
K: But I want you to understand these are not phrased in polite diplomatic
language.
D: I understand.
K: They are phrased in terms of what is acceptable and what is not.
We will instruct our Ambassador accordingly.
D: Just indicates the direction of your thinking?
K: Yes, they are not formal and are all negative.
D: They are all negative. There must have been something positive.
K: I told you the positives yesterday - @ these are the things W e want
changed. But we do not have an exact formulation. We will try to have that
tomorrow, but have indicated what we want.
D: Those four major things?
K: They are in there. Was that all you wanted? I gave you comments on
every section.
D: That is fine.
