S: ? ? ? ? the statement.
K: What statement?
S: Back Stop committee ? ? ? I wonder if something new had happned
K: I don't know of anything. I don't know what the back stopping committee
is doing.
S: The President is working hard on
opption.
K: Abdolutely.
S: We are being told ? ? ? ? saying what it is and in plenary tomorrow. &
Exactly what I know and ? ? ? ? we are told to strike that out. What the impli-
cation ? ? ? ?. People on track here. I will say whatever you want.
K: I know that. The safeguard we don't have fully worked out in detail. On
MCA you should work out whatever you can.
S: The U.S side notes the convergence of views and ? ? ? MCA and ABM basis.
We have been told to strike that out. The whole paragraph. I told Semenov we
were told to strike that out.
K: That's wrong. We should stick to 4 safeguard sites. You must ask for 4.
Absolutely.
S: That's what I thought.
K: That's in the President's letter.
S: Your WH people are telling Phil ? ? ? ? ? .
K: I will get with Sonnenfeldt immediate and straighten it out.
S: I just had a couple of hours with Semonov. I don't expect any change in their
postion. ABM only agreement and that's what they want to negotiate about and
forward base system is ? ? ? ? ? getting on with defexx offensive weapons.
The only thing of any note and it's a very slight
I pointed out the
safeguard position of offensive/defensive agreement. I thought they ridiculed
it.
? ? ? ? ?. I didn't say a word.
K: That's interesting.
