We went each side ro reserve their position.\nD: Our govt. has not decided.\nK: That's where we will be in practice. Even if you don't agree, we will\nadopt the decision.\nnot\nD: I can/make the decion for the govt.\nK: While you were discussing it and while we were stopping the bureaucrativ\nprocess to decide it they can throw in new things for them. (? ) The fact I heard\nit 3 months ago means nothing.\nD: You only have to discuss ABM. You can tell them.\nK: You can waste two weeks if you want.\nD: It's the decision about after.\nK: The only thing we are going over old ground. I have told you what will\nh appen. I will hold Smith until Tues. We will have to send him back with new\ninstructions. You can decide if it's handled in Vienna or here.\nD: I am not responsible for there. If you want\nit's all right with me\nand my govt. You can tell Semonov no. We don't care.\nK: But it's a problem here because our officials will run around\nD: Tell Smith to check with Semonov again. Then just say we cannot accept this\nafter. Then say before we will discuss. Semonov will say no. Hexanxxxx doesn't\nknow about this and it will be closed chapter. It will happen. I know. You are\nlooking suspicously of things that are not.\nK: In Smith's mind it's a new offer and it's considered bad faith by the President\nasifxwe tried to work with you. I can produce a stalemate 50 ways in Vienna.\nWhat's hard foxx is to achieve progress. Whether you get a reply or not I have\nnot pressed you on that. We wanted silence until it was a reply.\nD: You asked me to tell you. I have read the telegram from Gromyko.\nSemonov has no authority.\nK: Whether he had authority or not he has produced the impression."
