C: I hope I wasn't inconveincing you.
K: You did a favor. I was SO busy. I suppose you will tell me when you are
ready
C: It will be at the end of the next week.
K: I want to discuss that matter.
C: You mean your private plans.
K: I need an excuse to get to Europe. A speech is not a reason. Being invited
by ISS -- no one would believe that I would go to London for that. Maybe nothing
can be done. It's W easy to get there but if there's an excuse --
C: A meeting or a speech would be about the only alibi.
K: Maybe Burt Trent --
C: If you don't mind that.
K: I could set up an NSC type office.
C: That wouldn't embarass you?
K: Not if it doesn't have a diplomatic aspect. I don't do speeches here unless it's
c
off the record meeting.
C: I am going over on Monday for a couple of days and I will talk with Burt to see
what we can work up.
K: The ideal would be something that would give me more than one occasion which
I don't have to do much on but which could get me to Europe.
C: You don't mind Cabinet meetings?
K: I want to get there visibly and do other things too.
C: I thought you wanted something more overt because it xbpx provides the pretext.
K: If it were a prestigous group with one meeting a year.
C:: Ditchley?
K: I don't attend meetings of that kind here. It's fixed on a given weekend. The
