D:
We will assembly on the 7th for drinks, all right?
K:
What do you hear from your North Vietnamese friends?
D:
They have been very quiet. Im ean, in our communication. They
have to say what they intend to say, maybe. They have displeasure
but my impression is after all everything will go back the same.
Of course, they may consider you, really, being politically our
fellow, going to renegotiate half of what they agreed upon.
(Laughter)
K:
No, only-.
D:
You see, I think this is main concern of theirs.
K:
Only a third.
D:
And the most important third.
K:
Actually, strangely enough, I want some changes in the less
important half, for cosmetic reasons and in the important part
I'm not --two or three changes will help.
D:
Well, their impression of you are trying to change into coalition.
That's why they are a little bit concerned about it. You know, on
two points. The points discussed the other day. The implications
are in the text rather. Which sounds more like from English into--
you remember these points.
K:
You mean about the administrative structure. I even have the
Vietnamese word I want them to use.
D:
(Laughter) But are you sure it is the right word?
K:
I'm positive.
D:
Because maybe is much more stronger than means the instruction.
You see, you already rather in incubation, when you read the manu-
script from Hanoi. And from Saigon. They have a different kind of
translation. All the same word is understood.
K:
That's right. Well sooner or later they'11 have to face that issue.
D:
I think it, but for the time being, its very difficult because both sides,
from your typical analysis they of course make some- why don't you
make them calm down.
K:
Okay. I'd just as soon have them calm down after the elestion.
