They don't want to say that a Finn and\nour\nJew is not acceptable and a private unmarked poll is kixexix way around it.\nK: It's my private recommendation to State. I don't think the President should\nbecome involved.\nG: It's what I would do automatically. I went to Pittsburgh and when I heard about\nlet\nit I said I would not kike them get away with it. He would differ with getting to\npublic against India.\nK: We had to do it to keep them off W. Pakistan. We weren't concerned SO\nmuch about East Pakstan.\nG: I am out of govt and don't know the facts. I have no sympathy with them\nxtxx at all. I never hesitated to punch them in the nose when they misbehaved.\nWe are a great power too. You pass it on to the Dept.\nK: No one expects to ? ? ? ? . Everyone baskkxx takes your views with utmost\n.\nI have no pain about what you said.\nG: If we have time in NY -- the President shouldn't get involved. People should\nhandle without involving him.

Nice to talk with you.\nG: Let's get together soon."
