You have told him what you can,\nnamely, we're for the restoration of the statusquo ante--\nK:\nNo, no, no, no, no. I mean for the ultimate negotiation\nS:\nI know he is referring to the ultimate negotiation and they will interpret\nthat as you having given a commitment in terms of total sovereignty.\nI think you have to stick to the formulas you have stuck to thus far,\nnamely, reconciling sovereignty and security onethe ultimate settlement.\nK:\nLook Joe can you think up, he pleaded with me to give him anything\ntomorrow morning and I think he is looking for a face-saving thing\nbut you think of something I can say to him\nS:\nRight, that will at least be encouraging\nK:\nIf he wants to claim as a new initiative, even if it doesn't mean anything.\nS:\nJust a--yes\nK:\nJust a paragraph. Can you think of?\nS:\nSure, let me focus on it, I'11 come up with sometihng.\nK:\nI 11 be back in 45 minutes.\nS:\nAt the moment I'm organizing a few of the long-going studies that we\nneed to do as a result of WSAG.\nK:\nWhat I need you to do is think up that one paragraph"
