It really\nbut Henry says\nthey should not be involved only in propaganda but be businesslike.\nSo it says they are prepared to be business-like. And then Henry\nmade the point because I was present during the whole talks that is\nwhy I could make such a demand (?) that he said that we don't won't\nto have a discussion when it will only be discussed from their point.\nH:\nYes, that is right.\nD:\nSo here it says that the Vietnamese side proceeds on the basis not only\nproposal\ntalks and this is important\n.\nH:\nYes.\nD:\nSo this is a point simply on my own I should say rather , I bring to your\nattention because you are not there, so I would like you to look through\nthis one.\nH:\nYes, I noticed all those things very carefully and agree with\nD:\nHave you already put it to the President - this letter.\nH:\nYes, he is aware of it but he hasn't really focussed on it yet and will\nthis afternoon.\nD:\nOh this afternoon (?) . So I would like to make some comment too on\nthis session\nletter - of course Secretary General Brezhnev\nattaches quite a personal importance.\nH:\nAbsolutely.\nD:\nSo this is really the remarks I would like to make to you.\nH:\nWell, good Mr. Ambassador, and I appreciate it and your(?) words\nare not wasted.\nD:\nYes (laughing) I hope SO. About the meeting with Henry, you will\nlet me know tomorrow whenever you know - when is more convenient\nfor him Saturday or Sunday.\nH:\nWell, I am sure he will want it on Monday morning and I will let you\nknow whether it will be Monday at breakfast or Monday at lunch."
