RK:
Does this
that Minh would be elected.
HK:
They never said that.
RK:
They didn't say who they would deal with?
HK:
No, they used almost exactly the same words as the other.
Almost verbatim what they said the other day.
RK:
So now they are saying publicly what they said privately?
HK:
Yes, but anything we mentioned they were against.
RK:
Did you mention Minh?
HK:
On Minh they were vague. We were not prepared to throw
the election and guarantee its outcome.
RK:
Now in the
of the election - that didn't come up
until October 11.
HK:
Right.
RK:
Was that ever discussed?
HK:
No.
RK:
Was there ever any implication that Thieu would be a candidate?
HK:
Nothing was said about that.
RK:
Is there anything else in the minutes that we went pretty far?
HK:
I think the minutes leave no doubt at what we were prepared to do.
RK:
Is it always an election or is there the implication that the election
will confirm what will be negotiated?
HK:
I don't want to go into it. There was always an opportunity for them
to make other proposals as long as they didn't cook the outcome
of the election; an outcome that guaranteed their taking over.
Bob, my problem is I don't want to negotiate with you.
