C:
No. Is the version broadcast by Hanoi roughly correct?
K:
Well, it is substantively correct but all the nuances are,
of course, shaded in their favor.
C:
Surely.
K:
But I don't want to get into a debate with them at this stage.
C:
No, or course not.
K:
They and we have to settle in the next month or two at the
outside.
C:
Yes, yes.
K:
Why the hell should we now start debating publicly and dig
ourselves in where no one canretreat any more. But believe
me the issues that remain to be settled are not fundamental
issues of principle.
C:
Not the fundamental issues of the agreement.
K:
There not issues of principle. Of course, they have substantive
aspects.
C:
Yes.
K:
But compared to the basic things that have been settled it
is practically inconceivable to me that they won't get settled.
C:
Well I'm glad to hear you say that. I've been a little bit
shaken in the last day or two.
K:
That's only because right now every little sliver is front page
news.
C:
I know. You know it's curiously like the war in Suez in 1956
right at the climax of the election and of course the Republicans
thought they were going to lose to that but of course the
Democrats, Sevenson knew better, he knew that that would
cement Ike in if there had been any doubt at all which there wasn't.
K:
You know it's a rocky period to get this done. It's a war that's
lasted for 15 years. You're dealing with maniacs on all sides.
We're caught between Hanoi and Saigon but all of this will work
out.
