K:
No.
G:
That never took off.
K:
No, we canceled that.
G:
I see. Is it because there was just no point.
K:
There was no point. We knew what the facts were. mean,
everyone knows what it is.
G:
Yeah, and is the severance in the British government at all
helpful or even more problematical?
K:
Well, in the short term it's helpful. In the long term it will be
more problematical.
G:
Yeah. And the Germans are just continuing to say, we don't know
what the argument is about.
K:
That's right. They're waffling all over the place.
G:
Yeah. And why essentially? Just too worried about the French, or
just a feeling let's not rock this boat as well as SO many others?
K:
I think that and the emotional need of the French. The French are
beyond my understanding. DeGaulle I understood.
G:
Yeah. Well the other day at the West European Studies this man
Bahr who used to be the head of the French Delegation to the Common
Market was there. He began to talk about the difference in generations
and about the fact that the new generation doesn't understand things.
So, when it came to questions, I mean the whole thing was an
unbelievable performance. For example, among other things, he
lashed out at the Dutch in response to a question. I think the question
either from Kimmelberger or Leonchev. In a fashion, you cannot
imagine the
"[speaks in French. ]" On and on this way. But
then I asked him, I mean, he went on and on talking about difference in
generations. I said you sound positively
.
I said after all,
this is all that he's talking about. But what would you have to do if you
were an American to prove that the object is not simply to dominate you.
G:
He said you would have to behave differently than you are now behaving.
