10:20 a.m.
K:
Hello.
J:
Good morning, Dr. Kissinger, how are you?
K:
How are you?
J:
Fine, thank you.
K:
I talked to your associate yesterday.
J:
Yes, I just finished talking to him, but he suggested that I should
give you a call.
K:
Well, he was clear enough. He didn't want us to give them a
figure and that's fine with me. The less I have to do with this
the better.
J:
The problem is as you know is we have got to get the industry
together on what the hell they would settle on.
K:
What the man did promise me is that they would not inisist on
net book value and that they would settle for a better figure than
the one that's now being discussed. He said any figure I gave
him he XX would consider very seriously. Now it's entirely up
to you. This would be given through private channels and would
be non-committing. It's entirely up to you. I have no interest
in this.
J:
All right. We'll have to get together within the industry on that
problem.
K:
They are willing to give up the definition and I think I made clear
to him that a confiscatory settlement would be very disastrous.
J:
I think everything you've done with him has been very helpful.
I had a couple of questions. Where does the letter stand? Is
that going out ?
K:
Yes but I wanted to have the talk first so we could put it into
the context of the talk. I don't see any sense now in sending
an emissary.
J:
You think everything has been covered adequately with Emir Saud.
