Canney is mayor of\nCedar Rapids. They are members of 11 man delegation that went to Paris and\ntwo got into see the NVN delegate general OII prisoners. A unique meeting. They\nhad a 2 hour meeting with Bruce after and he was very impressed dith what took\nplace. Yesterday they met with an assistant secretary of State.\nK: Green?\nM: No.\nK: Sullivan?\nM: No.\nK: Sieverts?\nM: Sieverts, that's the one. A very cordial meeting and Bruce\napparently\nreported and Sieverts knew about it. What they had in mind because of the\nrapport was to try to get an invitation to go to SVN to visit NVN prisoners and\nthen try to get an invitation from the NVN for the same thing. It seemed to me\nit was in your ball park and it might be helpful to visit with them.\nK: How long are they here?\nM: All day today and possibly tomorrow.\nK: I can make sure that they see a staff member and I will drop in for a few\nminutes.\nM: The modus operandi is important. They thought of writing the SVN ambassad\nI don't know. I know Amb. Diem well enough for him to see them and generate\nan invitation from him.\nK: What do they want from the SVN?\nM: Visit the prisoners of war -- at least some -- and then prevail on NVN to\ngo up north for the same XXXIX purpose.\nK: I will call you before 2:00. I will try to find half an hour.\nM: I have heard a lot of storeis and I thought it was unique enough to see you.\nK: I will try."
