K: If they have to reimpose it they'll never reimpose it. If it lapses
after two months then it is a different problem and haven't seen what
it is they have actually decided. But if you show t 00 much
receptivity they'll vote it they might not do the two months thing.
N:
show t OO much receptivity at all. That's what I am talking about.
I am simply saying -- I am thinking of sort of kicking them about it --
about the two months.
K: I think the best way to say it is that we are moving at the pace that
we think is most appropriate and that putting
a deadline
on the embargo won't affect our actions. Won;t speed up our
actions.
And that wi 11 give some argument to those who want to lift it
unconditionally.
N: Are there any that do, Henry.
K: Yes.
N: Still.
K: Definitely. We had definite word.
N:
Has the decision been made that it is two months
lifting, isn't that what we are talking about.
K: Yes, but we don't know wh ether that two months, Mr. President,
means they'll review t he situation after two months, which WO uld be
meaningless because they'll never agree on reimposing it; or whether
they mean, it means that after two months, they have to take a new
decision to lift it again. If it is just a review after two months, Mr.
President, it WO uld be a facesaving nothing.
N: That's right, I get your point. Fine. I got the word, don't bother
wi th Buchanan's call wh en it comes, ok?
K: Right.
N: Fine, I am all set, anything else?
K: No, there is nothing else.
N: You got the letter off to Brandt.
