I very much appreciated getting to talk to Prime Minister Miki at
Rambouillet.
Togo: At present, Prime Minister Miki is troubled by the Lockheed
matter. He is sending a communication to the State Department.
The President: We are troubled by it too. I will look forward to his
communication.
Togo: This is a very important year for you.
The President: This is an important day. It is important to get some
indication. I am very encouraged by Florida. We are doing well there.
Togo: Everything is fine between the United States and Japan. I hope this
disagreeable matter will soon be over.
The President: I agree our relations are excellent.
Togo: I am honored to be here. I was here in service 37 years ago and
started here.
My wife would greatly appreciate the honor to call on Mrs. Ford. I know
it is outside protocol, but since Mrs. Ford didn't get to Japan, she would
like to greet her.
The President: By all means. General Scowcroft will arrange it.
