Mr. Kissinger/Prof. Yoshida
Tape
K:
Yeah.
Y:
Did he write any story?
K:
No because he is an old friend of mine and I didn't tell him the truth
but I told him that it wouldn't be fair. But he may still write it, he
just came back three days ago.
Y:
I see. That was really too bad, that was really too bad.
K:
But I don't, you know -- he may yet write it, that's a minor point, I just
don't see where we can.go from here. We will try early in the New Year
to see whether there is some way we can reformulate what you have put
to us in that telephone conversation.
Y:
That's right.
K:
And if we can, I will come back to you or which would be better to give
it to you or to give it to your man here?
Y:
If it is too troublesome on you personally, then best through your expert
to his counterpart in your place
K:
All right.
Y:
in order to avoid any misunderstanding.
K:
All right.
Y:
What if I told you on December 17th from our time over the telephone
exactly the position of my own friend and is very firm and what Mr. M
says this is the final -- I mean the definite position and if you need some
modification on certain specific points, I will press very hard on my own
friend in order to meet your need. As you can appreciate on our side,
my friend is also in an extremely difficult position
K:
Oh, yes.
Y:
and he hasn't got much room
K:
That's why I wonder whether it mightn't be best just to forget the whole
thing.
Y:
Yes, I think -- I think you are wise not to go further for the right one.
