K: On Vietnam, how much is American military morale lessening? Are you
the only one standing in the breach? I think the American military want to end
it.
HAK: And I am continuing it?
K: Leave yourself out of it. My question is the attitude of the military and morale.
HAK: If the military want to put it behind them they haven't made a proposel to us
formally or informally. When this administration is written into history it will
be that the press reports were done by ESIP because there was no communication.
K: I have felt that the military cannot get it up on
.
HAK: I don't deny that.
K: What's your feeling on ? ? ? ? ? ?
HAK: That could happen. To get back to your previous question I think it's
a complete misreading that some are pushing for a fast exit and some for a
slow exit. That has never been the problem and it will be seen as ridiculous
later. The recommendations we get from the military -- those that make
recommendations -- are actions you wouldn't approve of.
K: That still exists. Right. I think that's it. Hope we can get together soon.
HAK: Befor you go off.
K: Around for awhile.?
HAK: Next week. In fact until Anchorage.
K: Going from here or California. ?
HAK: We will leave from the West Coast for Anchorage becuase it's too long
a day but itx the points on the West Coast isn't deidded. Calif. or other state.
I may go to San Francisco a day early.
K: A speech?
HAK: I have been -- two raasons. One, to meet with Sex China scholars
on the West Coast and meet with the Commonwelth Club if it can be done off
the record.
K: Thanks. And also for seeing Jean Lacouture.
HAK: I like him.
