8/3/71 11:15 a. m.
K: Two things: first, it's not totally out of the ballpark that
the President might do it the night before. But everyone agrees
it
would be better in the morning.
J: I will explore it with Ushiba as quietly as I can.
K: But we just don't want to be in a position where the schedule
is set because of the dinner.
J: No.
K: So you could wait till tomorrow till I have a ruling. You
could put it on this basis, that we have a problem with the Brazilian visit.
J: Have we got dates on that?
K: No.
J: I'm going to talk quietly today.
K: But it isn't totally out of the ballpark that he might do it
Sunday night.
J: That's the only answer I need now.
K: We would probably want him as early as we can get him.
J: Yes, but from his standpoint Monday the 27th is better?
K: Yes, at the moment. I frankly have only discussed it with
Haldeman and very briefly with him.
J: Why don't I talks with Ushiba?
K: Yes. We should get some points for thinking about it at least.
One other thing -- when I was in Thailand, the consensus was that the
package we made up wouldn't fly. Iasked Wayne Smith on my staff
to
work with the Embassy making up a package that would. I have no brief
with the one they have developed except that the Nixon Doctrine says that
leaving with them resources. Here we are both
pulling out without giving them resources and
We ought to be doing something now. Could I send the program over to you?
