K: One other thing. The President's mind is perculating. He offered some weeks
ago the NATO job to Kennedy. He has accepted it. With some condition. One
is that he can come to Heads of State meeting. I see no problem on that.
R: All or just NATO countries?
K: He says all but I don't see how he can go to Sato.
R: Oh, I mean Russia and China.
K: No. Also attend NSC meetings and status and ? ? ? ? . And economic
ambassadors will keep him informed of his activities. If you agree with this,
why don't you tell him.
R: I will do it. Tell Kennedy.
K: The President talked to you. Do you want to do that? I have discussed
conditions with him and the President agreement to it. Call to you will be
for between 9:00 and 10:00 our time.
R: I am hesitant about whether he should go with this (war? Mrs. Ghandi
making an address at 1:30. I guess she will declare war.
K: She will recggnize Bengla Desh and Pakistan will declare war. India
has declared state of emergency. That doesn't say much. Moorer is ov the
fiew that xxx inprobably that Pakistan will attack because these are minor
airfields.
R: Only one military. The others are commercial.
K: I don't understand why they will attack those airfields. Maybe a knee-jerk.
R: I think going to the Security Council is best thing. If its not up there we
will have to do something. I will call Kennedy. Has a good second man over there
and XON can rely on him.
