D: I asked him to hold it because I knew he would send a telegram to
Moscow. He put it down in writing.
K: What I communicated to you was the expression of the President
with no conditions attached. The only thing I want to confirm - - which I
already know the answer to -- is that this was not a change made without
my knowing it. Let me call you tomorrow moring.
D: I will hold it till tomorrow morning.
K: Could you?
D: Yes. I was so surprised with these changes of mind.
K: There is no change.
12/17/70 6:10 p.m.
K: I just talked to the President and he asked that you as a favor
please tear up that thing.
D: Drop it?
K: Yes. The commitment to you stands and will be implemented in
the nearest future -- probably next week. This is based on a bureau-
cratic confusion and probably over-eagerness by people who figure if you
can get something for something why give it away fro nothing. We have
a commitmente which we made voluntarily and it will be implemented in
the nearest future. I have to make a few phone calls first which I prefer
to have wait till the British Prime Minister has left because I am SO busy
with him here. If we are going to quarrel, let's quarrel about more
important things.
D: What did he say about the first statement?
K: We are releasing Ivanov without conditions except for the
arrangement you and I have made which was already agreed upon.
