Z :
How's Jill?
K:
Whom do you mean?
Z :
St. John.
K : I don't know whom you mean.
Z : Okay, then how's Faye Dunaway? You can't do much
in my part of the country without my finding out about it.
Why don't you let the Zieg in on it.
K : What the Zieg doesn't understand is that the thing
is self-perpetuating. Once the thing has gotten started they're
such publicity hounds it keeps itself going.
Z : I'm going to leak it.
K: That's what I was hoping you'd do. That's what I'm
doing it for. Two things: The President called last night
and thought I should stop in at that briefing.
Z : I think that would be very wrong.
K: For once I agree with you. He thought that Jerry
did wrong.
Z : It's playing fine.
K: I agree. There's no way I could get out without
saying something substantive or else lying.
R: So I'm just going to say that the President was en-
couraged by the report, and that this week he's going to give
a progress report on Cambodia, and more importantly, on Viet-
namization.
K: Don't say "more importantly." Just say a progress
report on Cambodia and Vietnamization.
Z : I'll say a progress report, and he will also report
at the conclusion of the operation on June 30.
K: Just say he will report at the conclusion of the
operation.
Z : Yes, but the conclusion of the operation will be on
June 30. And he will report at the conclusion.
