    "ocrText": "2\nK: And the President asked me just to call me to ask if you have a deserving\nnon-contributing supporter but I hope you will say no.\nF: I don't. Let' me ask you a question, though.\nBill Porter is a very able\ndiplomat and certainly knows his business. I have felt that we have missed the\nboat in Canada because we had that fellow you had been with the bank, whose\nname I forget and then we had Adolph Schmit, and this is ayoung, energetic\nnation. And it's a young, energetic government--Trudeau - is young, John Turner\nis ng--relatively young, and their sort of feisty in some ways. Certainly\nTurner is. Bill Porter, while he can be feisty, seems to me less sort of tough.\nMaybe I'm reading him wrong. I don't know him all that well. We really need\nto get close to those people and we certainly haven't with out last two appointments.\nK: Well, whom do we have to be realistic, Porter is tough, all right. He is\nnot the most sociable guy in the world. But he is tough.\nF: But is he a bit prissy?\nK: Prissy? No,wI feel it biggest drawback is that he tends to get abrasive.\nF: That doesn't bother me a bit up there.\nK: No, prissy isn't his problem.\nF: Well, then I can't think of ian alternative,\nK: OK, because it would help me if when I'm moving him it doesn't kikxex look\nas if I'm throwing him in the ash can.\nF: Sure. No, I think he is an improvement on what we've got up there. I hope\nyou are not thinking of Schmit for the OECD and I don't see why we owe Adolph\nSchmit anything.\nK: Well the White House is pushing like crazy for him and I ran it past the\nPresident on that basis and he is willing to do it, but I don't have any interest\nin Adolph Schmitt.\nF: The White House is pushing like crazy for him? I wonder who that can be.\nI've been talking with Jerry Jones and he denied it. He said you were.\nK: Look, I'd be delighted to put a hold on Schmidt. Who do you want?\nF: I'11 find you some good people. I don't think he is good enough.\nK: Look, I have no interest in Schmidt.\nF: OK, I'11 go to Jones and come back to you with 3 or 4 good people."
