K:
How are you, Mr. Ambassador?
Fine
P:
/Can I come to see you for about 15 minutes? The matter is urgent.
K:
Can it wait until this afternoon, about a quarter of
P:
It would then be too late.
K:
What's the problem?
P:
The problem is about the warranty, the statement by President
Nixon. Because you remember, I can get
to
President Nixon an anofficial letter to Bin T
.
Ask permission
that he would make some kind of public statementat the time of
the signin g, and now there's some word on the end given to
Vietnam. As I would like very much to have it before thb
K:
Well that will not be possible, but we are planning to say some-
thing this week.
P:
This week?
K:
Yes.
P:
And, I must say that's quite a big production, yes. And so
write the permission letter.
K:
Yes. Strictly for your information but you are not to mention?
this, the President is planning a press conference on Wednesday.
But if this leaks, he isn't going to give it.
P:
No. Yes, I will keep it absolutely secret.
K:
And that's when he intends to say such a thing.
P:
I have also another remark, that is about Minister Lam. I

He can't until he sees President Nixon.
K:
We'll schedule the appointment tomorrow morning. He hasn't

P:
Yes, if we can have it in the morning, then he would be leaving
at about 11:00 . He has to be 1:00 in San Francisco, and
then he'll be able to get a plane from San Frisco to Saigon in
the evening, at about 7:00 pm.
K:
Well we will do our best.
