K:
They have been part of the economic program. It has been paid
for already. We can do it. It has been done before
P:
If the Indians continue the course they are on we have even got to
break diplomatic relations with them. Don't you agree, Henry?
K:
I agree. There is already a strong victory statement and an un-

P:

K:
They gave us flat assurances there wouldn't be. If that happens we
will have to reassess our position with the Russians. We will have

P:
What are they doing?
K:
I said to Vorontsov if you don't do it at the UN, do it as a bilateral

and they saw because you acted in such a
way here, we are
going to drop the summit.
P:
Well, dropping the summit is not the first thing I would do.
K:
Well, you have to look to see how much we are willing to pay in
terms of where we are going.
P:
To keep ourselves in perspective we have to realize the Russians have
put it to us previously in other parts of the world SO we have to just
grin and bear it, right?
