11/3/70 11:50 a. m.
S: I am sorry to bother you, but I want a personal word with
you. About picking a change of date for the Prime Minister of Tur-
key. I wonder if you saw the telegram from Handley about that.
K: No. The problem is the President is committed to Heath
and he cannot do it any other day.
S: I know that. We have put it to the Turks. I talked with the
Ambassador. We suggested the 15th or the 16th as an alternate.
He can't do it then. He said if this can't be worked out, they are
talking terms of June.
K: That's too late.
S: My estimate is that this is going to become difficult and an
issue between Turkey and the U. S. I know how important the President
considers the Turks in terms of overall Mediterranean strategy.
Ambassador said to me last night, this makes it look as though you
feel the British are more important than the Turks.
K: That's exactly right. You should have said you are precep-
tive as always Mr. Ambassador. Let me call the British Ambassador
and see whether they can do it on the 15th or the 16th.
That would be striking a blow for freedom.
