Bill Donaldson/Secy Kissinger

D:
And I told him, I said we weren't asking you to be forthcoming
on some program you know nothing about but we're just -- you know,
everybody else has said something and all we want you to do is say
that you think the idea of everybody getting together is a good idea and
the Kissinger proposal is one that merits a good hard look and that we
know the details.
K:
Yeah.
D:
He came over here and I had a long conversation. But he was balking
a little bit.
K:
Well, the Europeans are almost impossible right now.
D:
Yeah. Along that line, the British have sent out a cable to all their
Embassies and have sent us a copy of the thing and the net of it is
that they want their Embassies to go into the OPEC people before their
meeting on Monday and tell them how bad we think the price rise is,
you know, that they've got to do something about it, roll it back. And
V
they 've come to us and I guess they are going to all the other OECD
countries and asking for some help on it. Basically, if you remember,
we made kind of an eleventh hour attempt at this OPIC meeting.
K:
Yeah. I would not do any more.
D:
You would not do any more?
K:
No. Our position is now clear.
D:
Would you absolutelyh -- the only reason I'd do something would be
to sort of forthcoming to the British.
K:
No, we've made it pretty clear. We've made it clear to the Saudis,
we've made it clear to Iran, made it clear to Venezuela.
D:
Yeah.
K:
Our views by now are known.
D:
Okay.
K:
Good. Thank you, Bill. I'll see you tomorrow.
