I would like to speak ill of him, but I can't when he is\non the line--\nI\nWe did reach Joe on the plane--he of course things have changedrow\nwith the bomb drop in Nicosia and artillery Kyrenia\nK:\nYeh\nI:\nSo to tell the Greeks not to fire, we don't think we can do much about that.\nK\nNo but could we avoid conducting all our busire SS on the open phone.\nI:\nSure\nK\nWhat did you discuss with him now on the plane--\nM:\nHe called to ask whether he could have instructions that would assure\nthe PM or FonMin would meet him at the airport\nK:\nHe must be out of his mind (god-damn bloody) Why?\nM:\nHe feels the sooner he can leave Athens the better it will be--he fears\nthere may be some internal difficulty as he put it develop while he is on\nroute and on the ground. And he thought if he could malle his point--\nK:\nOh don't let's be absurd\nM\nHe ask for authority to go straight away from Athens to Rome or some\nplace nearby--his first preference would be to return directly to Washington\nK:\nOh no, he is going to stay out there-- - he is going to go to Athens like a\ngood boy, he is going into the town of Athens and we are not seniling\ninstructions to have thePM and FonMin meet him at the airport, there\nhave other people who have taken risks and Sisco is going to take a few\nrisks.\nM\nOkay, I toldhim I'd raise thes e questions with you."
