He wanted to know what\npaintings. Hesaid Russian easier then impressionistic ones. They figure the\nimpressionists don't do much for Russia representation. He will support you.\nS: Today in the mail I sent you another request xxx not of the same order but of the\nfar\nsame kind. We are making a series xxmuseum called \"Museums Without Walls\"\nSO I wanted our photographer to photograph impressionists in the Hermitage. We\ndon't use heavy light because we (went into a technical discussion of technique used.)\nI did the letter in such a way SO you could say it was another request.\nK: Why don't you wait until I see your letter. The traffic won't bear too many\nrequests.\nS: I would meet with cultural people and do what's easier for them and fotographing\nis probably easier. That's a face saver because Carter Brown knows what we are\ntrying and he says we are fooling ourselves because for what our govt sent to\nRussia because it's SO\nThey may not realize the value and may let\nit happen. In any event what are you doing about coming out here?\nK: Probably there Sat. night or Sun.\nS: I will see you Sunday night.\nK: Which of the performances are you going to?\nS: The first.\nK: I am joining the VP and SO shuttling back and forth.\nS: They consider this quite a coup.\nK: What?\nS: You and the VP both coming.\nK: Really?\nS: In fact Marrish --"
