And that was one of the things I was feeling in the meeting\nI know what feelings Brezhnev left, and not only this and he spoke with\nme twice and I -- with him a conversation here in Embassy, and he gave\nme his impressions and I have a very clear instruction, and this was\nvery clear for me. I could very authoritively say that nothing is going\nto happen of the nature you suggest might happen. I said it is not\nfrom our side.\nK:\nNo, well it not be\nD:\nFrom this I could guarantee\nK:\nNo, I can guarantee you it - - - -\nD:\nEven not 95%, but 100%. I go even further than you.\nK:\nNo, that I can guarantee you 100%. I practically can guarantee you\nthe other thing. It's just-- can almost certainly--wellI don't want\nto say something when I haven't even seen a proposal.\nD:\nI don't want you to go even to a statement, because I understand.\nK:\nBut what I'm trying to tell you is it's something reassuring rather than\nthe opposite.\nD:\nYes, this I understand. I think its a good thing Henry.\nK:\nBut you know when I talked to the President yesterday he wanted to make\nsure that I had mentioned to you, which I hadn't actually done. The attitude\nwith which we are pursuing our policy, and this is what I wanted to.\nD:\nAnd then yesterday you give your knowledge of his thoughts.\nK:\nOh, yes, ofo course. I mean what I told you -- he wanted me to make\nsure that I emphasize to you the general atmosphere with which he will\nconduct his relationships to you, to Brezhnev. And they will be in the\nspirit of all their discussions.\nD:\nI understand. I think this is important.\nK:\nAnd the very cooperative attitude so you will not be surprised by\nunexpected moves on ojur part. And that you can definitely count on.\nD:\nI understand. Because I am now much more in touch with Brezhnev\nthan with telegrams. He takes a much more interest in American\naffairs than before."
