L:
And I think that weakens your negotiating position to such an extent
that you might as well not have the authority.
K:
Yeh. We really have to think about whether we are not better off
saying these sons-of-bitches just are responsible for the defeat.
L:
Politically, you'd be better off - I don't think Cambodia will ever
work out very well anyway and I'd like to be able to blame these
guys for doing it myself. But that's - Henry, you know I'm a kind of
a black character and I'd like to blame these guys for the incapability
of getting these things resolved because I think it's damn touch and
go to get it resolved as far as Cambodia is concerned anyway.
K:
Yeh.
L:
I'd like to be able to blame them.
K:
No, we'd have a pretty good chance because we got the Chinese involved
and the Soviets involved but I get your point. If we say - 45 days won't
do us a goddamn bit of good.
L:
Then I think if the President comes out and says that's all he needs
that weakens your negotiating position anyway.
K:
That's impossible. OK, I11 call you tomorrow about this. Is
that
time enough?
L:
Yeh, sure Henry, I just wanted to talk to you because I wanted you to
make sure that you address these issues, that's all.
K:
Right, I'll call you tomorrow, Mel.
L:
All right, Fine, Henry.
K:
Bye.
