K: It was a prerequisite and brought the Russians back in. Gromyko
told Beam before you spoke there was nothing in this offer and it
wouldn't go anywhere because it had all the failings of our previous
offers, which was partially true. And now they are accepting something
they rejected 6 months ago. All the screaming helped with the Russians
because it showed the Russians that somebody must believe it to be
serious or they wouldn't scream SO much.
P: That is right.
K: You know the stock market shot up today.
P: What happened?
K: Madame Binh made a number of half conciliatory statements.
P: How did the stock market know it?
K: It was in the newspapers. She said it in a press conference. She
said they would be willing to include members of the Thieu government
in a coalition. This in itself is something we cannot consider.
P: But it indicates an opening.
K: Maybe not that but it emphasizes a softer part in their program.
She didn't say we will fight to the death.
P: Thank heavens we are not putting Bruce in the position of rushing to
Paris on the 3d of August with a note to the third secretary of the Embassy.
We can have him sit there and wait and talk ad and then we will do it.
This measured pace is going to drive them up the wall.
K: Absolutely. This Egyptian thing indicates Soviet pressure.
P: You think it is going to leak tomorrow?
K: Yes. Tomorrow or Friday at the latest it is going to be out.
P: Hanoi will be watching the effect that we are not driving it to a
showdoan in the Middle East.
P: The Senators?
K: I think Mathias and Percy were wavering except Percy hx said I voted
with you yesterday on the crime bill. I said you always tell the President
