S: We're meeting this evening at 7:00 and I just wanted to
touch base with you before taking to him. Is there any development
in Washington I should know about?
K: No, you must assume you will know about every development.
I noticed in one of the last meetings with him
was
probing the Soviets as if you had to find out from them what was going on.
S: No, he didn't have that in mind. I didn't get that impression.
K:
Be that as it may, there is no development here.
There has been no development since I talked to you and I have yesterday
approved your going ahead with tabling our proposal, but it should be put
in the context of SLBM.
S: Its certainly will be.
K: Not as a proposal in its own right.
S: It will be done that way.
K: And I want to assure you again you will be kept fully informed.
You can assume if they tell you something they are fishing.
S: Your message of Saturday
K: On What?
S: General impression of where we stand and raised the possibility
of
whether Washington

Would that be agreeable
K: Washington what?
S:
K: I see. Let me check that with the President.
S: You may want to give kinxx me authority to make a tentative
proposal.
K: If you can do it on the basis that you don't know if it will be
approved.
S: I can do it that way or I can make it even stronger, say I
