Johnson/Kissinger\n5:50 p. m.\n10/6/71\nK: Is Kishi coming or not?\nJ: I have just dictated a telegram saying we are not going to try to make future\napppintments until -- I have WH clearance on it. The last message said 10th\nor 11th. I am going bakc to say we will not make an appointment for Kishi with\nthe President until we have a firm date of arrival. Assure him he is most\nwelcome but for a Presidential appointment a firm date with arrival date is\nnecessary.\nK: Do we know he will talk about textiles?\nJ: Ushiba says no. He wants to wait until Tanaka finishes first.\nK: If there's no agreement, he shouldn't come until theere is one.\nJ: That's what he says he wants to wait until there is one. There's an optimistic\nview on Japan. Jurich is on his way to Tokyo tonight and we should know no later\nthen Tues. Tanaka is trying to firm up an agreement and get it approved by\nTues, the 12th.\nK: If the industry doesn't come along, what happens?\nJ: Dave Kennedy is dealing with the industry.\nK: Their industry.\n& J: That's their problem. They will impose it. He misread Tanaka on this.\nHe is grabbing hold and doing something. What we hear is they are reconciled\nto an agreement.\nK: I don't know where the negotiations stand and I don't want to get into it but\nmy firm impression is that the President will do something if there is no agreement\nJ: That's accepted.\nK: He was ready last week. He is raging about Kishi. He thinks they are\ntrying again to do him in. He will use trading with the enemy act as much as\nhe dislikes it. I hate it but he will use it and I want you to know.\nJ: Everyone accepts that. We have Taiwan on board. Kong Kong and Korea\nare still wavering. If we can ? ? ? . We have Taiwan SO if we can get one\nother we can use 204 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act instead of & trading\nwith the enemy act which is more astringent. I will keep in touch with David.\nIt looks fairly hopeful and Kishi won't come until there is a textile agreement."
