Your whole posture\nwas that of a man trying to lead the whole country. And you give a good\nexplanation of your role in the campaign. I am not surprised that your\nrating went up in our own poll after the last one and I would be amazed\nif this didn't do the same thing.\nP: You never can tell about that.\nK: But you have the initiative now. Now you have the State of the Union\non the\nand the foreign policy report I think will be better this\nyear than last.\nP: But we have to get more coverage on it.\nK: As a historical document this is going to be a good record. But\nwe have to get a publicity job on it.\nP: I might televise it say here is the report and then give a 10-minute\nsummary. Go on at 7:00 and say I want just 10 minutes. Give a summary\nat the beginning, basically read it, and then say it's available to anyone; we\nwill send it to you for 10 cents.\nK: Excellent idea and you/could give the main theme of it.\nP: Of we could give it to them free.\nK: Butu sually people read more if they pay a little. But I guess\nwriting for it is a commitment in itself.\nP: Or I wouldn't have to say that it was available; the announcer would\nsay that.\nK: That will be ready by February 15, SO that is going to be a strong\nmonth, and then thise other things planned for April. And by that time\nI am seeing Dobrynin soon. We can get a good feeling for what's obtainable."
