Schecter - page 3 S: But if I raised those things as possibilities would that be an embarrassment? K: The gas deals, I haven't heard that discussed at all. The thing you have to keep in mind, Jerry, there's a sort of lemming suicidal impulse right now. People throw away what we've got as if it's nothing. Three years of peace with the Russians isn't nothing. That's my big worry. Our domestic uproar is SO confusing , people that they don't look at it. S: I must say that the crescendo is getting louder. The other thing, for example, I heard today that the date for the meeting would probably be the end of May or early June because otherwise it wouldn't be feasible from the go. K: The date will be as we announce it, as we told you. S: Which is what, end of June ? K: Not before that. S: Last ten days of June. K: In that general area. S: In other words, the end of June. K: In that general area. S: They told me that you'd probably go down to the Black Sea. K: Who told you that. S: The Russians. K: That's one of the possibilities, on that there hasn't been a decision. S: I'm sure you know this but if you don't I think it's interesting. The reason that was given to me that it would be easier for Brezhnev to go down there and see the President one on one. And as he did in Moscow again, then he has to worry about the other two guys because it's a more formal situation. Where if he meet's with the President at it's easier for him to be number one down there. K: And if he's lucky, I may not be there. S: Now, I'm not going to sleep tonight. You shouldn't make jokes like that. K: No, he may keep me in Moscow.
