11:46 a.m., January 30, 1973
HK:
But there is no significance whatever. I mean, whatever may happen
in the weapons field in the next two years has nothing to do -- if weapons
are discussed at all, it will be in the last half hour of the last day.
JK:
I see. Right.
HK;
mean, that's the sort of priority I would give it, if that makes any
sense to you.
JK:
Well, that gives it a high priority to me.
HK:
Well, I'm not saying it will be discussed.
if
JK:
No, no; but I mean what you're saying is that it might be and that they
do have problems
preparation for it.
HK:
There's no formal preparation for it.
JK:
Yeah.
At least that's what I read you to mean.
HK:
That is exactly right.
And that
JK:
Bxit he might raise it because he does have some problems in this area.
HK:
Well, no, only because the thing comes up and in that case, all we could
do, you know, is study it. I have no reason to suppose I don't even
know what they're going to come up with. Nor do I have any reason to
suppose they are going to come up with anything.
JK:
Yeah. Yeah, I see. Okay. I mean, this is changing - - you know,
chasing something that might not be down in the dark room. [Chuckle]
The other thing I wanted to talk about was rhythm. I'm trying to plan
my whole year ahead a little bit and I have assumed that the President
would really, once he began turning to Europe, would do it rather briskly
and would get interested perhaps in March or April. Is that a reasonable
judgment.
HK:
That is a reasonable judgment.
JK:
Rather than much later than that?
I mean, I'm thinking of a trip.
HK:
Well, whether it will take the form of a trip or not hasn't been decided.
But you can be quite sure that he's going to move briskly into it.
JK:
Yeah. Is March-April a clearer timeframe than May-June or can't
you tell yet?
