K:
In any event, there'll be no blow up before the Inauguration.
We have an intercept that he told his NSC that he would accept
it.
P:
When, after he met Haig.
K:
Yes.
P:
That he would accept it--what the hell did he write this for?
K:
Because he wants to prove that he was right.
P:
How accurate is your intercept, how direct?
K:
Oh, very accurate.
P:
I understand that, but how precise did he say that?
K:
I wouldn't say it was total precision, but he said it was very

P:
Okay. Fine.
K:

or rejection of this agreement--just put it as bluntly
K:
That's exactly, in fact, what-
P:
That's what I'm fight for, that's why, I mean, we'd all like a
better agreement, but not we've gone the extra mile and we--
with the Congress' attitude there is no way, no way that we can go-
K:
I was just dictating it, Mr. President, and that's exactly what
I had put -
P:
Okay, fine. Put in the other things too.
K:
Exactly, you can be sure, Mr. President.
