That can't be XX right.\nP: I can't believe that. What subject?\nK: At 4:15 you and I were to meet with the President. They think it's on grains.\nP: We have nothing on that. I have a paper on cheeses.\nK: If you showed me a paper on cheese, I wouldn't talk with you.\nP: There are 3 items I think --one, cheeses, is almost all political with\nMills and the dairy lobby. It's a lousy economic case and I am appeal to\nthe tariff\non that. Perhaps Sonnenfeldt is talking about that. I am\ngoing to say we have these wrinkles and we are talking with State, Agriculture,\nand\n.\nIf you wznt to see that, you can.\nK: He wouldn't want me in on that.\nP: Shoes. My friend Stans is in on that. $55 million . Itlay and Spain are\nclimbing the wall. Stans is talking all over town. I want to ask where he wants\nme to head. The choices are for a two week study. What we should know is that\nPeter and Stans have let the work go to the bureaucrats ? ?\n?\n?\n?\n?\n?\n.\nK: Just say what you want. Don't criticize Stans or Flanigan. Above all,\nFlanigan.\nP: Stans is talking to foreign ambassadors onthat. I will say we will try\nto defuse these questions and isn't that what you want? East-West trede we\nare together on this. Henry tells me when we can go. When he does, we will\nknow it's millions and billions. There's business pressure on this. Currency\nconvertible problem and they want to barter.\nK: Right.\nP: UK trade. We have agriculture telling them to stop and State saying\ncontinue. You and I agree we cannot put him and the govt. in this. We are\ngoing for two weeks. It makes no difference for the long term. Ariculture\nwill get hurt when we go into the Common Market. Industrial products will\nbe helped.\nK: Use Britain to help us.\nP: With political\nK; We are completely together.\nP: Find out what Sonnenfeldt wants.\nK: I don't care. I have what I want."
