No sublimits\nbut they will tell us what the sublimits are. I will ask - you're not free for\nbreakfast are you.\nS: Henry, I'm going to take a little rest if you don't mind. I'm going off to Bermuda\nfor two days.\nK: OK, I just want a little work donw while I'm gone, I'll have some of my people\ndo it. Maybe they could get together with yours SO that it doesn't leak out.\nS: Sure. Just have them call Paul.\nK: Whether any sublimits are conceivable that we could live with. Always keeping\nin mind what the situation will be without an agreement.\nS: Right. OK. How's everything else ?\nK: Otherwise, things are going along OK.\nS: Did somebody shape your senior State Department official conferences on the\naircraft? I'd like to know what you say.\nK: What I said was\nS: I'm just asking if there is a transcript.\nK: But I can tell you what I said. I said some progress was made but not enough\nto constitute breakthrough and we now have to analyse it.\nS: Well, I guess I was quite consistant with that when they asked me about it\nyesterday.\nK: That's all I did say.\nS: OK. Good. Now on the question of Suez. There's a very delicate situation,\nas you know Herbert was opposed to that. I went up to see him, I guess after\nyou left, and he has now backed off and he indicates that he is willing to support\nthe operation as long as we give him a way of crawling back off the limb, which we\nthink we've given him. He says it is improper, illegal for the DCD to fund this\ndirectly. So the position that I've taken is that the administration will seek from\nthe operation in other ways. You can either look around in the aid budget or if\nyou don't have it in the aid budget send a supplemental to the Hill or indicate that\nyou're going to have a supplemental to the Hill. If the supplement doesn't fly\nthen of course we will have done the work already.\nK: My nightmare is that with the Egyptians going so far out on a limb for us, if\nwe now get the same problem with the Egyptians that we did with the Soviets."
