if it were possible to get some answer from you by X Wednesday.
I wouldn't use it there but it would X affect the confidence with
which I actx in insisting on a settlement which believe me will
not be easy for them to accept.
AD:
I understnad.
HK:
You see if it leads to a blowup in Saigon we will just have to
delay.
AD:
I understand.
HK:
We cannot have a public confrontation with Saigon during the
election ampaign.
AD:
I
understand. But in this case does that mean that bith of us
will do something
HK:
If we knew this, if we knew what your intentions are it would
really then enable us to take greater risks. It seems to me
you know, I don't want to speak for your government it seems
to me imporbable th t you would--that - under conditions of
peace your incentive would certainly-- - would seem to me to
be less.
AD:
Yeah.
HK:
We would certainly be prepared to reduce our military aid
enommously.
AD:
Yes, yes. Well you see, you would want the last two put in
the letter because I think with only two days left it would be
rather difficult to get all answers. The last onex you put to
me.
HK:
That's What's the last one ?
AD:
You mentioned a reduce of our aid to North Vietnam.
HK:
I would like some indication of that, yes.
AD:
Well, I mean you may put in your letter but I am afraid that it would
be rather difficult to get by Wednesday a reply on the scope of
of questions.
HK:
What are the other questions?
