2 RN: If he wants to scrub that that's fine. HAK: They don't want us there anyway because they 11 be busy all day. RN: Don't let this harping discourage you, Henry, you know. You hear from all of these people, and don't let it discourage you. HAK: Mr. President, you and I have been through a lot of things together. It's always the same things and these bastards are now trying to deprive you of any success. This has nothing to do RN: The real problem is this. They're trying to fight over all the things we beat them on. We beat them on China, we beat them on Russia, we beat on the war, and they said that none of those things would work, Henry, and they all worked and now they are dying. HAK: It has not a thing to do with Watergate. Watergate just enables them to do those things they would have done anyway. RN: Yes, they wanted to fight us. Well, the way they've tried to knock everything we've done, but we've had an enormously successful policy. HAK: Mr. President. It will be a success. We have all the agreements done - nothing can go wrong. With all principles said with a commitment to have an agreement next year, we have to do a little negotiating on that with Brezchnev. They want to say 74 75 but you can get them to say 74 I'm sure. RN: Right. Well, it doesn't make any difference anyway. HAK: Well, it makes it look a little better. RN: Yes, look a little better. HAK: Makes it look RN: We can put it at 74 and then postpone. HAK: That's right. That's what we left for you and Brezchnev but otherwise. RN: What I was concerned about in view of your earlier statement that may be the Russians were thinking about not coming at all.
