2 J: Right. K: You know, they can't sign an agreement without us. J: Can you tell me on any basis at all if you would expect to be there next Tuesday. K: Look, we haven't had any official contact to date with them yet and we are not going to-- we stampeding them yesterday. Even if we should meet it doesn't mean that there will be an immediate signature. After we meet with them we will have to go back to Saigon on this, certainly. J: Okay, well good, this gives me a feel for a program. On the other hand I think-- K: I think the matter is essentially as I left it yesterday. J: That's what is important because I did have a firm grip on it yesterday, and then today we suddenly have all this coming out of Paris. K: Well, you know, you are going to --both Vietnamese parties are constantly going to be saying jarring things. I consider that inevitable. J: As you explained yesterday, partly for domestic consumption in their country-- K: That's right, and partly to put heat on each other and partly to put heat on us. J: Right. K: But I think we've laid out a reasonable course; I think it's brought us this far and I am certain it's going to bring us the rest of the way. All of this is off the record, it's just for your guidance. J: Okay, good, well fine, thank you sir. K: Bye.
