3:53 pm, March 13, 1973
K:
Hello.
R:
Henry !
K:
Hello, Gene, how are you?
R:
I'm fine, how are you more tothe point. I watch your adventures
with great pleasure and interest.
K:
Well, one of these days we'llfall off the tight rope.
R:
I'm afraid so, those bastards don't seem to be behaving very well
in Laos, do they.
K:
Well, we don't have the scruples of your administration, before we are
through with them they'll know they've been in a fight.
R:
That's absolutely right. I'm--
K:
Don't think they are just going to get a free ride, we are just waiting
R:
Waiting until you get your prisoners out.
K:
I'm not even sure, we're just waiting till we've made our record a
little clearer.
R:
Good, good, you chew me up. I saw that leak from the White House
yesterday in the Times, it couldn't have been more pointed. I hope
they read the papers. Maybe you should slow up some of those wheat
shipments too, that might bring the point home.
K:
Wheat shipments, to where ?
R:
To Russia.
K:
Oh, yeah.
R:
I didn't call up to give you free and unsolicited advice, I have a
trivial matter, if I can take your mind for a moment off great things.
