Our impression is that Connally is thinking\nof taking a negative position on the loan. I talked with Volker and SO has\nNat Samuels but at the latest we have hear is that Connally is negative which\nwould cause a confrontation.\nK: I will talk with him about it.\nI: On the weapons and law of the sea. We have talked with Defense and they\nreally come up with a position that there's an important conference on law of\nthe sea in July and August and we should do nothing until then. Under that\nposition there are two points. One relates to Brazil and one to the West Coast.\nOn Brazil they are willing to talk with them and hope to avoid a specific\naction\nand\nagreement. Our xxxxx position is to talk with them on a modus vivendi\nto be sure we won't have any incidents with them. Both Defense and State feel\nit's good to talk with them but with a slightly different (emphasis) on what will\nbe the best result. On the West Coast Defense doesn't want to take any action.\nWe have a proposed action that includes new legislations which we think is better\nthan taking any action and doesn't put us in aposition on law of the sea and doing X\nnothing with ad hoc procedures. I understand there's a NSDM coming out --\nK: It has come out.\nI: It would help if we knew what it recommends,\nK: It went through Eliot.\nI: I havent seen it.\nK: I understand it has everyone's approval.\nI: That's the second thing.\nK: I will check on it.\nI: Since we -- what may happen is Laird may talk with Rogers on our decisions\non this. Our thought is that both of these need not -- XNKX are separable from\nlaw of the sea and can be done even though a NSDM is being studied.\nK: I will look into it.\nI: And I will check here too."
