My prognosis\nis, I told Roy this morning, I don't think we will get everything we want\n--I think we are probably going to get something out of this 14th meeting\nif that is the case, I think the question it poses is, do we continue our\nefforts--my inclination would be that as bad as it is, I would probably\nhave no alternative.\nK:\nYou do it then\nS:\nHenry, God bless you, let me tell you, I just came back this morning\nand just want you to know--I know it has been a tough week but this\nmight bolster you a little bit--I had a full room of congressmen this morning\nat the Wednesday morning briefing -about 65 of them and let me tell you\nthey were very, very laudatory of everything you are doing on this whether\nthey are from the pro-Israeli lobby or the other side--you have got Henry\nthe goddamnest broadest support up there than you can imagine.\nK:\nI let loose a real blast at a Harvard luncheon -in front of the press\nthat they are not going to yield to blackmail.\nS:\nI wish you hadn't done that--not SO sure it would be SO useful at this point,\nbut never mind--see you later today."
