K: As a farewell present to us will you do a dirty job?
R: Sure.
K: The President wants to get rid of the Ambassador in Peru.
R: What's he done?
K: Disimpressed people down there who got to the President, specifically
Blatchford. But I don't want people to go to Blatchford.
R: It's pretty hard on that kind of evidence. I sea in the paper an interview
with him which I thought he handled well.
K: I have no opinion about him.
R: Toby Belcher is his name. I don't know him well. I met him at the
Chiefs of Mission meeting in Mexico City. He strikes me as a xlxxgex thoughtful
guy. But how he is in this I don't know. I will do it.
K: Let me talk to Blatchford. Maybe I should recommend to the President
not to do it.
R: I don't think you can on that gx case alone.
K: Let me talk to Blatchford and get his evidence. I will transmit it having
been order to several times.
R: I will be glad to talk to him unless it's more consenant with your mandate.
K: N, you talk to him if you can in a way that doesn't suggest a big bureaucratic
exercise that goes through the whole Department.
R: I will do that.
