F:
He's the only man in the whole Foreign Service that fits your
requirements there, huh?
K:
Well, he's the man that we thought was the best for that phase,
yes.
F:
Um hum. His experience in Italy and Thailand serves your
purposes, is that the gist of your argument, Henry?
K:
No, his experience, it serves the purpose that we need a tough
man there who can - we are now in the delicate period where
we have to get enforscement by both sides and he seemed to us
the most experienced and strongest man for that position. This
is hardly a period where we are going to get involved again, SO
this problem is quite different than what it used to be.
F:
Um hum. Well, I11 be glad to talk to the Committee. I wann't
the only one on the Committee that--
K:
Oh, no-this was-
F:
This business, this pattern of rxtainingreturning to the scene of
their former activities, we thought was a bad one. I can see

and he's--he just loves doing what he's been doing. He loves to
bomb hell out of them.
K:
Well, you know
F:
He even said SO before the Committee.
K:
I'm not making a special plea for the other two whom I also admire
but--
F:
I know you're not.
K:
I don't know Godley, but I admire Sullivan.
F:
Oh, Sullivan is the same way. He would have been a perfect
Roman pro-Consul. He just loves pushing people around.
K:
Well I don't know, he--
F:
Henry, you should know by now that we are not sympathetic to
this policy of retaining control and pushing these people around.
We think we ought to disengage ourself, I thought I made clear
at least my own view.
