K: The President was very pleased with the letter.
J: Oh fine, good.
K: No problem with delivering it through the Ambassador either.
J: That's good too. I had Bill Breer sit in on Peter's conversation
and he's on his way back over now to have Peter clear the reporting cable.
I asked him to drop a copy by your office.
K: Great.
J: Peter has not yet seen it. And do you want our copy of the telegram?
K: Just for the President's personal files. This isn't going to leak is it?
J: I said "Deliver direct, do maximum to confine knowledge of it and it's
contents to yourself and the Prime Minister. 11 What the Prime Minister does
with it we have no control over.
K: He is afraid of that Democratic part.
J: But Sato should like it.
K: He thought it was a beauty if it doesn't leak. But even if it does, SO what.
We'll know by tomorrow.

J:
Yes - - I think he will have to resign. He built himself and his relationship
with the President. With a public challenge of this kind he's going tofeel, given
the Japanese approach, that he has to resign. I d say there's a 70% chance now.
K: I know because when that cabuki player said if I was treated the way he was
treated by Sato I would have resigned. So that's their thinking.
