D: Are you en route to China?
K: Not yet - in an hour and a half. I had a good dinner yesterday.
Horrible for my waistline.
D: In Hawaii you will be as thin as a girl.
K: Hawaii doesn't make you thin. I want to see whether they give
us caviar again. I have talked to the President and we are changing
la the letter. We are adding a paragraph.
D: I understand.
K: I think that will answer the oral note.
D: That is quite all right.
K: I referred very positively to the oral note. It reflects essentially
the spirit with which he will approach it. There is a paragraph that
picks up the suggestion you made.
D: OK.
K: I have also talked to the President about the other topic. He
approves our proceeding in that way.
D: The dates we discussed.
K: Yes, we will try to get you an answer by November 20 and will
proceed to talk about guarantees.
D: OK, fine.
K: What we all ought to try to do on the main business we discussed
yesterday is to avoid things running normal course but not to introduce
too many new ideas into other channels. There may be restlessness
on our side but nothing in these ideas of private conversations will
be known. It would be useful if you did not put into other channels.
D: No, No. Unless there was some kind of
but in any case I will
let you know. But to my knowledge there is no intention. But from
your side of course you will go second channel, but with understanding
