K:
Hello.
C:
Hi, Henry.
K:
Chuck, I just want you to know I've talked to Lou Harris.
C:
Good. Good.
K:
It's going to be worth ten points in the polls to you.
C:
I think it probably is. It's not a joke you know, really. If he feels
that he has been a part of bringing the war to an end, even though
he is an Alsop type hawk, it just strokes his ego to the degree that
I'll guarantee you that
K:
Well, he's offered to carry messages to the Russians.
C:
Very good.
K:
He told me he's delighted and then he just repeated to me what
I've already seen in the polls.
C:
This has made a difference.
K:
I said it helped a lot.
C:
He's convinced by the way when I talked to him last night that we're
going to win 65 - 35 if we either have an agreement by election day
which I told was improbably - I didn't tell him impossible - I didn't
want to discourage him or keep the hope of peace alive.
K:
That we can do. He told me we had to have another meeting before
but I think that's a double-edged sword.
C:
I don't. I agree with him. I mean we're probably not in control
of that.
K:
We're not only in control of that but I'm also terrified in going to a
meeting and having 200 press guys waiting when I come out.
C:
Depends on when you meet.
