    "ocrText": "The President\npage\nthree\nweek of the 25th, that would turn out very good because we would be able\nto announce the resumption of relations with Egypt.\nN: Yes, yes. a couple of brief things I mentioned to Al. First I talked\nto Finch about Japan, he doesn't want to be an ambassador anyplace SO\nhe's out, which is fine because he'd be a fine ambassador but we need him\nhere. Second, I think that Hodgeson would be ahell of a good man if he'd\ntake it, he was an excellent Secretary of Labor, and\nK: No, no, I think its a good idea.\nN: He's a businessman, and also he's totally our man, you know what I\nmean. Now, the other one is that I would like to do, don't know if he\nwill take it but I want to offer it. I think we ought to offer London to\nDave Packard. If Packard would take it you know maybe that WO uld be\nK: Oh, that would be great.\nN: Wouldn't that be superb.\nK: That would be a great appointment.\nN: And then you see as a senior ambassador over there, even more\nthan Walter, he could help Straus-Hupe in NATO he could help with\nhe European Community, he understands SO much, and of course if\nwould be great for the British.\nK: I'm seeing him tonight at the Business Council should I run it past\nhim.\nN: Absolutely, I told Al, I said to be sure, as far as I'm concerned\nI'd like to have it offered to him. Tell you what you do, if you see\nhim tell him the President has been trying to reach him or something\nlike that and I want him to know I wanted him to do it.\nK: Oh, yes I'll put it entirely\nN: You could say that I called and that we, I think its such a terribly\nimportant post, He wouldn't have to go until first of May. Walter wants\nto stay through April, I think. And look, its the Court of St. James,\nDave has got money running out of his ears, his wife's a big socialite,\nthey've got a magnificent Embassy. He'd be one of the stars in the\ndiadem, wouldn't he.\nterrific\nK: He would be terrici.\nN: Why don't you tell him that, will you. Another thing I mentioned"
