K: The difficulty Mr. President is that if we get to that conference,
they might promise us their vote on the big things and then drag us
into guerilla warfare on oil instrumentation, and having in effect
in the minds of the Europeans, caved this time, they will never hold
firm again. At least this time we've got everybody. If the French
get away with it this time, even though the compromise doesn't
strike me as unmanageable
N: I don't think it is unmanageable. but I.
it looks like the French,
like the tail wags the dog.
K: and the trouble is at that other conference if they really want to
sabotage this effort, there are some people who think they could
organize some votes against us. That I don't believe, but they wouldn't
have to organize votes if they stand up against what we want we sort
of have had it.
N: Right.
K: Also Pompidou might die, and, in the interval, and then no promise
W ould mean anything. I m a little reluctant to ask you to authorize a
change in our position at least until a little later in the evening.
N: Yes, well I've got to go over to Alic Longworth's birthday for about
hour,
K: I know, I should go too.
N: But I'll be back at by six and available anytime.
K: Well there's nothing, the Europeans are caucusing now and we have
a plenary at 5:30 so nothing can possibly happen until about seven or
eight o'clock.
N: Well, I'll tell you one thing, with great subtelty but with unmistakeable
clarity, they all understand that economics and security are linked. What
I was telling them last night they damn well beter understand.
K: Have you
you have been told, of course, the tremendous play your
remarks received.
N: Did they get quite a play.
K: Oh, yah. It was on every morning show, 5-10 minutes of television
and it was the lead article in every paper, so.
N: Good. Well, good luck. if you're still talking to Jobert, love and
kisses and all that crap. Thank you.
