- 2 - R: I don't think there is any such thing as off the record any more on this subject. K: That's true. R: Well, I think probably the best thing to do is to try to duck it all together because if you start talking about troop withdrawals and so forth you open a can of worms. K: I think that's right. R: On the 3:00 p.m. thing we've gotten word that they'll let us know at 3:00? K: They will have a message for us at 3:00. R: What about Sout Vietnam? There's a ticker, we've got word KNN now that Thieu has proposed something new. Do we have a copy of that yet? K: Thieu hasn't proposed, but there's a news leak that Nha put out, his assistant, according to which we xxxxxxxxxxx should make a separate arrangement with North Vietnam and then he'd negotiate separately with the rest of it. And he may drive us into that. R: Yeah. K: It is not a formal proposal and I don't think we should comment on it. R: I like to just sort of see what the hell it is. K: I haven't seen it. R: We have it in the Department, at least we have reports of it. Maybe it's just a report. We don't have a direct communication from Bunker I don't think on it. K: I have nothing from Bunker. This is & something that I got from Bill Sullivan. Your information is better than mine. I have no independent information that Bill Sullivan doesn't have.
