You are on record about it -- I\nknow your conviction. The question\nwe have to raise is how often is\nthe same basic principle voted on during the same period. when people are\nalready on record with their views and we are trying to get a negotiation off\nthe ground. I wonder if you can vote against it or abstain on the grounds\nthat there has been a chance to express one's self and you believe the basic\ndirection is now clear.\nJ: So that this is unnecessary.\nK: Yes. We believe it would be helpful and the people who take this\nline won't look bad.\nJ: I will look at that. Henry, we are\ning around a resolution\nto be passed by the House and Senate on the China policy. We have worked\nout the text of it with State. The question is in view of the conservative group\nIt would be a concurrent resolution of both houses backing the\nPresident's policy respecting both Chinas. The question is the strategy of\nholding in the Congress in view that we might get licked in the UN.\nK: I think there is something to be said for having it.\nJ: We thought because the President might not have his way and may\nbe faced with the need to decide whether we will or will not veto\nif there\nis a Congressional resolution with him he might feel easier in the saddle.\nI don't think he'll veto anyway\nK: No, I don't think so.\nJ: But if he's got the Congress on record with him it might be\neasier for him to absorb the loss.\nK: Could you send over a copy of the resolution?\nJ: Yes, and the man who will handle it in the House is Maillard.\nK: My instinct is in favor of it.\nJ: Let me send it over to you."
