K:
Hello
I:
Hello, Henry.
K:
Yes, John.
I:
You remember some weeks ago we talked briefly on the phone
about weather modification. This is coming up now again in
the working group with the Under Secretaries Committee and
they are coming down to a couple of versions. One, supported
by the Department of Defense, State and the National Science
Foundation which states the support of the principal of peaceful
uses with certain qualifying explanations and, the other one
supported by ACTA and the National Atmospheric Association
which is a renunciation, a little more definitive. I gather you
have had a Colonel Behr attending all of these, but apparently
the last one he wasn't there.
K:
No, he is no longer with me.
I:
I just think that you should check it from your point of view
because this is coming up. I think it is important that you all
know what the problems may be.
and
K:
Well, whichever youxr Defense support, we do, too.
I:
I asked how far up it was supported in Defense, but they weren't
sure. They thought it was a JCS.
K:
Yes.
I:
I hear you're off to London. It's a good city to visit.
K:
Yes, I love it. My schedule is pretty full though.
I:
Fine, Henry. Good. It's nice to talk to you.
