Henry, I'm very anxious to\nsee you about something with regards to the Soviet Union. I'm coming\ndown tomorrow and I know that's a helluva early date to do it but you\nhappen to have\nK:\nWell, I'm on the West Coast.\nDK:\nOh, you are. When are you going to come back?\nK:\nNext week.\nDK: Well, let me ask you - if you can answer it then I can delay. Is there\nanything getting close on who's going to be our Ambassador to the Soviet\nUnion?\nK:\nNot that I know.\nDK: Because I would like to make a recommendation on it which at the outset\nwill - you might just immediately rebel at, but if I explain the thing why\nI think, if possible it should be done and I'd like to talk to you personally\nabout it and then if it's something pressing.

The guy that I want to recommend I think he damn well owes\nit to but I wouldn t want to make that point unless you agree that there\nweren't other problems that would be caused.\nK:\nCan you tell me who it is ?\nDK:\nYes, Stans.\nK:\nOh no.\nDK: Well, see I knew this was why - Henry, let me tell you this: I'm talking\nif you can get over this present problem.\nK:\nNo, no I'm not talking about the present problem. He just has no sense\nfor the subtlety of that relationship."
