Sullivan/Kissinger\n3:30 p.m.\n9/22/70\nK: The jungle looks good after the desert.\nS: I see you are taking a weekend in Paris.\nK: It will never take place.\nS: You don't think so? I am intereated about Ky.\nK: The Secy. brought that up . I told him I have no intention of seeing him.\nS: I wanted you to see him. I don't see how you can be there and not see him.\nK: Tell your Secy. I would like a call from him without a needle. I will see\nKy if it serves a useful purpose. I am going because I wanted to see the delegation\noutside the President's office and I find ? ? ? ?\n?\nS: Habib called. Bui Diem will be going on the 25th to persuade Ky not to come.\nThey will know when you are in Paris whether he has been persuaded not to come.\nPhil X feels with you there that you would have to see Ky.\nK: The Secy. had no strong views.\nS: There was a cable saying we need to send a special emissary to Paris to tell\nKy not to come and I guess they put two and two together.\nK: See the Dxex Secy. Tell him you think I should call on Ky. I am delighted to\ndo it. I will *xlkx take Habib along.\nS: Habib will give you his feeling based on Bui Diem. We must let Bui Diem\nknow you are there.\nK: You and I have no problems.\nS: I have really been scratching my head on how to work on what could be a\ndisaster if Ky comes. At a certain point we could offer an official visit in late\nNovember. I asked the Secy. to check on that and see if the President agrees.\nK: The answer is yes.\nS: We could hold that out. I thought you might be in a position to do that in Paris.\nThe other thing if this thing is really riotous we could lift the permit for the\nrally.\nK: That's strong.\nS: Consider the bipartisan support."
