S: You are all over the place SO I can't keep track of you.
K: We are writing the annual foreign policy report. I took some of my
staff out here.
S: You should be pleased - - I appear periodically on a show called
Agronsky and Co. Liberal critics. Last night we taped one for Sat.
night and it was unanimous that the President did well in foreign policy.
There's a difference of opinion on domestic matters
K: No, there's no difference of opinion. It's all negative.
S: OK but even with the severest critics on foreign policy everyone thinks
he has done well and you are a large part of it.
K: Thank you. You are a good friend.
S: I called because at Harvard there are rumors. I called not for secrets
but to see X if you can enlighten me at all.
K: I have to make a move by Feb. 3. I am stewing about it out here.
S: There hasn't been a decision then.
K: No. Harvard has been very generous and made it easier for me and
helped for me to come back.
S: Well, rumors crop up.
K: And I have been talking to friends up there.
S: He heard they said no you couldn't come back and another guy said it
would work out all right.
K: Even if I leave it will be amicable and with a gentlemen's understanding
that I can come back.
S: I am just putting this in - -
K: I haven't decided but I will rxxtx in two weeks.
S: I will say just to hang on awhile and when there's a decision give me
a call.
K: I will.
