Bob Toth/Mr. Kissinger
9/29/62
4:10 p.m.
HK:
How are you?
BT:
Welcome back.
HK:
Thank you.
BT:
Did you have a good time?
HK:
Oh yeh, great-- a lot of laughs.
BT:
I was just wondering if y ou can give us any guidance on this--
we have a story out of Saigon this morning which had Al's visit
- - -it also said that the thing separating the two sides was that
we wanted an election for a President whereas they wanted an
election for a constituent assembly that would choose a President
and a type of government.
HK:
I just don't want to go into that. That's what Xuan Thuy said yesterday.
BT:
Is that what Xuan Thuy said?
HK:
I thought that's what he said.
BT:
I didn't see it in any of the papers.
HK:
I read it somewhere-- I thought that's what he said, but I'm not sure.
BT:
Ah huh. But you don't want to say anything about that?
HK:
I
read it somewhere--in some public thing, but I just don't want
to go into that.
BT:
Can you give me any guidance on when you might be going back?
HK:
No.
BT:
There is a lot of speculation on next week.
HK:
I just don't want to speculate on that.
BT:
Are you happy or unhappy?
HK:
Look, you're the only one that understood earlier that this is not
that sort of a problem you know everyone says, is this the time
