K: There are several things. I have talked to the President about our
discussions and he thinks matters are moving in a positive direction. There's
a number of things he wanted to make sure of. The second items wediscussed,
he wanted to make sure you understood that it was not a formal proposal
but the direction of our thinking.
D: Oh yes, you made that clear.
K: I thought I did,
D: You were thinking in that direction; not formalized, but outline.
K: But one thing I wanted to make clear on a problem we have with
your friends. When we are thinking about something, they go and make a
public announcement in the same direction. They have to talk to us or to the
New York Times; they have to decide. If they put something out now publicly,
we will disavow it and say that no such thing is true. If they want to talk
we will be serious. Within this spirit we are prepared to be as constructive
as possible. If this process doesn't get anywhere by the end of this year,
then negotiation isn't the way to do it.
D: You made that clear.
K: And on that point he asked me to reaffirm
and also
about the timing. The
of your colleague to how the timing might
be handled.
D: You mentioned the first stage?
and the Second
stage.
.
K:
thinking out loud, but this was an idea he thought had merit.
D: Fine. I will mention that.
K: And finally, I forgot to thank your Foreign Minister for the package he
sent.
D: I will do it for you.
K: And tell him it was greatly appreciated.
D: Certainly. I think this will help
yesterday's meeting was good
in all senses.
K: That was my impression, and the President was very pleased with
my report afaxitx of it.
Give my best regards to your Minister.
D: All right, I will.
