I had some children to get rid of who I don't think need to hear\nall these details. So, you know, we understand why you don't want it in the\nsame way as the other one.\nD:\nYes. You see I think it's a little because to make it in some other form\nK:\nWell, we just want to make clear, we don't want you to say that you\nproposed the summit. That we agree should be phrased neutrally. But when\none visits a country, one has to be invited.\nD: Well, I think it's agreed, it is clear that they agree on that one. On\nwhy, of course, he couldn't come without an invitation it's very clear. The\nPresident could say to himself, \"well, I'm coming to you\" and to say, \"No\"\nand he's still coming\nK:\nWell, do you want to say in the light of recent advances President Nixon\nhas agreed to visit Moscow? But that makes it look bad.\nD:\nWhat do you suggest second?\nK:\nI don't think that's SO good for you. In the light of recent advances and\nSO forth, President Nixon has agreed to visit Moscow.\nD:\nWell, I think the President has agreed for a visit, I think it is practically\nthe same.\nK:\nIf you want to say that President Nixon has agreed to visit Moscow\nD:\nWell, I think it is rather neutral instead it has been agreed\nK:\nNo, no, what we prefer is it has been agreed that President Nixon will\nvisit Moscow in the latter part upon the invitation of the Soviet Government.\nD:\nYeah. Well, I really don't know what to tell you. Of course, I could tell\nthem what you say because there is no problem for me to understand with the\nPresident's visit. Do you have any other\nK:\nNo, that's the only suggestion. The only other point we have is October 10th\nis a very bad day for us.\nD:\nWhy?\nK:\nBecause it's a Sunday and we would prefer it either the 6th or the 7th.\nD:\n6th or 7th?\nK:\nYes."
