2 HAK: They don't want to do it by cable. Pres: I would hope that they would get that done when you go because that would enable us to make that announcement before the Russians do. HAK: I will make it clear to them I'll hint very strongly. Pres: Well they are quite aware of the fact that we are considering a Russian announcement. HAK: They are aware of that. I told them that the last time. But I haven't given them any timeframe. Pres: We could say that we have delayed the Russian announcement until maybe the middle of October that we would like to get theirs first. They would like that. HAK: That's right. Well its got to be before the Russian announcement, Mr. President, because if that trip at the end of October -- to that they have already agreed. They have already agreed to the second half of October they just haven't agreed on the announcement and the date - - the exact date. Pres: Well, I suspose that one other possibility would be that they would only agree to the announcement of the trip in the middle of October before the Russian announcement, and announce their date afterwards. HAK: Yes, but they've got to announce my trip fairly soon. Pres: I understand that. HAK: It would be a hell of alot better to announce yours together with it SO that people don't believe there's something wrong that needs straightening out. Pres: Well, I think they plan to do that. HAK: So far, Mr. President, they have played it absolutely straight. Lloyd Shearer from Parade Magazine, just to give you an example, called the other day saying that he had interviewed a girl student who had talked to Chou En-lai, she was among this group of students. She said that Chou En-lai had told that girl that the President and Mr. Kissinger are the two most honorable Westerners he has ever dealt with. And that is actually quite interesting if he did say that. And Lloyd Shearer wouldn't have the brains to make this up. [NWN 05-14/1127
