K: Two things. The thing at Dien Bien PNu that we were talking about has
come off. They hit itx the airfield and the administrative buildings. It
happened on the same day that I was on my trip.
P: That's all right . It was done by the others. There's no reason to connect
the two. The war goes on. Their attacks have not been reduced any. They
did this with what?
K: Ground forces. It was only 30 mortar shells. But still, it's a little place.
Entirely Laotian.
P: Good for them
K: They got out. Today or tomorrow we are launching an attakk on the oil
line between NVN and Laos. Are you thinking of a departure statement'
rommorrow? I think the French would like it.
P: We didn't for the British but we might as well. We've done everything
else. Do something brief. What time is the meeting?
K: K 10:00. We will have some talking points up there.
P: At the dinner last night I covered China and Spain and urged him on SXXX
Spain.
K: (something about being related)
P: He was concerned about what happens after Franco and I said he had a
chance to influence that. We also talked about Italy. He thinks Fanfani
is great.
K: Fanfani is a slippery Psychopath.
P: That's obviously Shriver's influence. We have to unsell Fanfani. Pompidou
is tough.
K: Schumann is a lightweight.
P: Pompidou has made a good impression. He has a gig -- because of his
name you think he is a playboy. He actually has very great strength and
there's nothing weak about him.
K: During the student uprisings, he was strong.
P: Anything particular -- further on the military thing?
