I keep wanting to drop you a line to extend congratulations on\nall your accomplishments, they keep piling up and you keep moving around.\nK: If I could only keep the press out of informal meetings I'm having I'd\nbe in an more favorable position.\nH: I was going to ask whether I should introduce myself as a friend or an\nenemy or a neutral.\nK: What you don't understand is any day now were going to start detante\nwith the Europeans and then we'll have another feather in our hat.\nH: I wish you success. Henry, I'll be very brief. You're going to be meeting\nwith Prime Minister Manley and your Embassy here indicated you'd be grateful\nif we could give you some indication of what the two Prime Ministers spoke\nabout when they met yesterday. I put it to Manley that there was a request from\nyour Embassy to pass on whatever information and that if you didn't want any-\nthing passed on, we wouldn't do it. It seemed to me it was a good idea because\nwhat he had told us was so reasonable and he accepted that immediately and instruct\ned me indeed if possible to get through/yo to give you my views on the thing and the\nPrime Ministers, SO here they are in very quick form. The first point that\nManley was attempting to make and will make to you I'm sure is that in the\npolitical climate of his country at this stage, That is a developing country\nrelying to a large extent on an extract of industry he feels that there is a\nreality about participation in that industry which is equally strong and as\nvivid as the need for independence was during his father's time. Just a gener-\nation ago. This is a reality which he has to live with and he hopes we'll accept\nthat. Secondly, he says that the proposals he will be putting to the bauxite\nCompanies in the course of the next week and I emphasize that he gave us no\ndetails nor did he intend to, of what he has in mind. But those proposals will\nbe aimed at increasing the benefits to the Jamaican economy through increased\nperformance of , that is increased production basically of the companies, and\nDECLASSIFIED\nE.O. 13526, Section 3.5\nNLN09-16/12526 Per Hr. 11/14/2013\nBy RS WIH NARA, Date 11/30/2016"
