P: Right. You call me as soon as you get that. I'm working here now.
K: Right.
P: And listen. I don't want you to discuss it with him.
K: No, I'll just take it.
P: But the message I'd be just cold turkey. Don't talk about the Middle
East and all that.
K: Oh, no.
P: The only thing you can talk about is the gifts.
K: I didn't discuss. This morning he called me only with a message on
SALT. haven't seen him today. It was just a 3 minute phone conversation.
P: You understand what I meant. I just didn't want him to get the impression
that we're sucking around. All right, we'll flush the summit.
K: No, I'm IXXX just telling you what their considerations are; that it will
slow down bilateral relations but that that is recoverable.
P: Fine.
K: The same judgment with the Chinese.
P: Fine.
K: Now my Vietnam expert who was violently against bombing is strongly
in favor of this.
P: Because it goes for the jugular.
K: Because it goes for the jugular because he says to boost the morale it
will give to the South in his judgment may make the difference in holding it
and not. Because it gives us a basis then for mobilizing the south and because
he thinks that this is such a blow that the North Vietnamese after some time
are going to crack. All agree that they are going to wait a month or two to see
what happens here domestically.
P: Exactly.
K: And all agreed that we cannot afford to blink.
