Because I'm sure that Gromyko will think very hard\nbefore making any decisions.\nK:\nIncidentally, I understand you made a very unfriendly comment about\nme to Don Kendall today.\nD:\nUnfriendly?\nK:\nYou said you were sure I would come to the opening of the Bolshoi Ballet\nwith a girl whose first name I don't know.\nD:\n(laughter) Ah\nIt's a little between but I was in a way joking.\nK:\nIt's true but why should you give away my secrets to an outsider?\nD:\nNo, because you know how it happened? He at least pretended he is\na good friend of yours. I don't know whether he really is or not.\nBut second, what he said -- He said, \"Do you know what was the last\nname -- I haven't seen you -- When you were the last time in a\npicture -- I think it was a week ago. I couldn't really follow very\nclosely, you are usually ahead of me. There was a picture in a\nmagazine where you were with some girl. He said, \"What was her\nname? I said, \"I really don't know all the names of Henry's girls\nSO I'm not so sure whether he knows himself. In this connection, he\nsaid, \"And I was intending to invite him with one of those girls.' So\nI said, well, I don't know whether he knows and this is how it happened\non the discussion.\nK:\n(laughter)\nD:\nAnd by the way, he mentioned that he came to me about his discussion --\nHe said that I have not had a chance it SO happened to discuss with you\nthis ideas about\nbut I intend to raise it with you. Because\nhe asked me.\nK:\nYeah.\nD:\nAnd he said, don't you know what -- don't I know what it might you?\nI said frankly, I never discuss; I don't know really. You will have to\ncheck with him but I\nK:\nYeah, I haven't formed a clear opinion on it yet.\nD:\nNo, no; but there is nothing really to form. There will be --\nK:\nI have nothing against it."
