Shimoda said it was personal from the Prime Minister\nHe said Shimoda is the one to handle it.\nK: That's what he told the President.\nJ: Yes, the word he had from the Prime Minister is what I gave you.\nK: He said there would be new instructions tomorrow.\nJ: Well, according to how they wanted to play it--I've taken the position\nthat I'll handle it however they want to play it.\nK: From where I sit, it's been handled with exquisite tact. They just\nhaven't been able to handle their bureaucracy.\nJ: I've been going through some charades to help them at the Prime\nMinister's request. I thought it was okay.
