K: I wanted to tell you about the talk I had this morning with
Shimoda. I was very tough. I told him our people considered the
last Japanese aide memoire an insult and totally useless as a basis
for discussion. I said we were going to make no counter proposal
and we were going to break off negotiations. I told him that would
be done Tuesday. Shimoda asked me if this was an ultimatum. I
said no, an ultimatum is when you ask somebody to do something;
we're not asking for anything, we're just telling you. I said on
Tuesday we will break off negotiations and tell our textile people
to seek recourse in Congress. I said the President is outraged.
He said 'this will put our government in an impossible position. 1 I
said that's your problem. And he said 'I guess we better get busy.
I
Now Maury, would you just make sure State doesn't do any crying and
weeping about this?
S: Yes, I've told them not to do anything. There has been meet-
ing after meeting among labor and industry. And there will be a storm.
But that will be to our advantage; it will be read in Japan. Mills believes
the statement about unwillingness to trade partners for this will be read
by the rest of the world. He believes that a statement that Japan would
be unwilling to negotiate voluntarily an agreement will bring pressure
from other countries on them to negotiate. Okay, I will tell you what
happens on Tuesday.
K: Good.
