D: Calling you from gas station.
K: I called you because I just talked to the President and I am leaving
town for a couple of hours and I wanted to get word to you. The President is
inclined to approve the secret trip tof mine to Moscow if we can do it in conjunc=
tion with the Paris thing, a week from Saturday and Sunday.
D: What date?
K: 22 and 23.
D: I guess you are right. 22 and 23?
K: Right. Arrive in Moscow around the evening of the XXXX 21st.
D: 21.
K: Right. That would give us 2 evenings and two days there. It's not
yet 100 percent sure.
D: Could I pass it?
K: Yes you can. I think it would be useful for them to know it on the
assumption that it would be done secretly.
D: You tell me reasons from your side. From our side it could be done
easily. Direct flight from Washington MX to Mos cow?
K: Yes. If you would like to send a navigator over here
Like to
take route outside the radar of Europe.
D: You tell me the route.
K: On this I will give you a recommendation and you specify the
airfield. It's not yet 100 percent sure; the President is going to Camp David
he wants to think about it overnight. Our assumption is it would be secret.
I would talk to Mr. Brezhnev and we would do it in the spirit I described to
youand because I am going over anyway.
D: I understand. I think it is very helpful. I will pass this information
to Moscow.
