F: I am about to start moving about your document. Is the length the same?
K: Our present plan is that we will give it to the Press on the 16th for release
on the 18th. The length is the same -- about 25, 000 words.
F: Is it organized topically? Areas of the world?
K: It has some reference to various areas and a general philosophical framework.
F: If we wanted to break it up with maps, what would be appropriate? If we
are pushed to the wall on the space?
K: You know the President has written every word himself.
F: Any section that's more dispensable?
K: Maybe the economic policy. Of course, there are some again the
NSC process but that's one of the things -- It's fairly tightly written. It
attempts -- but don't tell everyone a general philosophical approach rather
than a chronological one.
F: Is it in chapters?
K: Yes, and you can decide pretty quickly which of the areas ones should be
condensed.
F: It may be a command decision to hold it to a
space.
K: Keep that information very tight. I have no -- we are not yet -- just
getting it to the departments today. I don't want them to think I talked to
you before them.
F: They will add all kinds of qualifiers.
K: I am boing to Key Biscayne SO they will have to find me. I enjoyed my
visit and lunch.
F: We found it most useful too, the weekend flap notwithstanding.
k; There was nothing malicious there. Sometimes preconceptions get in the way.
