Kissinger\nFriday, Feb. 8, 1974\n12:30 p. m.\nZ: You have come back to Washington and you bring this snow.\nK: If you keep making snotty remarks to a Sec. of State you will be in\ntrouble.\nZ: I have tälked to His Majesty yesterday and mentioned about the talk we\nhad night before last.\nK: I hope you told him of my affection for him.\nZ: Yes indeed. He was pleased to hear from you and he is looking\nforward to seeing you.\nK: Good.\nZ: That would be in the third week of March. March 21 is Persian National\nNew Year when we have the ceremony in Iran. After that he would go\nto a place in the Persian Gulf -- a beautiful island which is like heaven.\nYou should go there and he would love to see you there. You could have a\nswim together. You can land any kind of plane there. If you are going\nfrom the northern part you can land there and staya as long as you want.\nHe would love to see you.\nK: I would probably have a pretty big party with me.\nZ: It is all right as long as you let me know how many you have.\nI\nwould arrange for their stay. You would stay at the xxxxx palace\nwe have for the Crown Prince and I would arrange for the other people.\nJust let me know.\nK: You could handle my usual travelling group?\nZ: Most happy to.\nK: It is very generous of His Majesty and I might even make a break for a\nday and stay overnight or something.\nZ: It would be wonderful. You are making SO many trips and you are so\ntired. In that time of year really heaven in this new place. At the same time\nyou would have a chance to see the Persian Gulf area from the plane. Since\nyou will be there I could arrange for your company to be about a half-hour away\nfrom you so they would be on their own. They could have their fun themselves.\nNobody else would be there in your talks unless you wish."
