All he wants to do is be kept in the picture, and you know what I\nsaid to him, I said you will be kept in the picture to the degree which\nwe feel that we can and should. That's the way I put it.\nK:\nOkay, well Joe, you will be kept in the picture, that's our understanding.\nS:\nThat's exactly right.\nK:\nBut we don't owe him anything.\nS:\nWell, you - well I'll tell you what I'll do. Henry, I can put two and\ntwo together, you've gotten a report and I think I know where you've\ngotten it, now what I will assume he probably won't let me know on this\nbecause this is internal, and maybe he'll write me a letter based on the\nunderstanding. What can I do on this end that might help.\nK:\nWell, I suppose nothing.\nS:\nNothing at the moment.\nK:\nBut I may send him a scorcher.\nS:\nWell let me know what you send him, it's up to you. But I'11 tell you he\ndoesn't know that you're going to meet with him at all, you know the way\nI put it. I said,\nK:\nWell, he doesn't really say he knows.\nS:\nI'll tell you what the additional problem is, is the God damned Egyptian\nwon't keep their mouth shut Henry. They are terrible. You know, your\nChinese thing and the Russian thing you can keep secrets with the\nCommunists. The Egyptians, you must always assume they are going\nto blow all of this, and they are going to blow their version of it whenever\nthey feel that it's desirable, and be sure you keep good records Henry\n'because they are pathalogical liars, I can tell you this.\nK:\nI've got good records and if they can make sense out of my double talk\nthey are great.\nS:\nWell look, I'm ready to come over, I'll be over there for the broad\nmeeting, but tell me when you want me to come over and we can talk\nabout a little strategy and SO on.\nK:\nGood, excellent, Joe."
