If they don't think they can get an\nappointment any time they want to. I have to exercise some degree of\ndiscipline with them. Now, what we'll do tomorrow. I'11 go over that\nwith them beforehand and then about a few minutes before you come in\nthe meeting you call me and I'll give you the low-down on the whole thing.\nK:\nGood. wonderful.\nF:\nI think you can be very frank with them. You're going to have to see\nwhat problems you face and that and then I think you'll probably want to\nrelate how that relates to the whole Russian situation.\nK:\nThat's what I thought I would do,\nF:\nI think this is important. Now as long as Sanley Lowell is going to be\nthere. He is coming in that group. You see I've been trying to break\ndown this business. These people in the Soviet group are very, very\nradical and that's the reason I've just kind of have never wanted them\nin except that its just their leader. Knowing the politics of things. But\nnow that this fellow is here I'll have a visit with him beforehand and then\nwhat we'll do is if you'll just call me in a few minutes before the meeting\nI'll give you the low-down on the whole thing.\nK:\nGood, and you will guarantee their usual discretion.\nF:\nSo far over the years have I ever let you down.\nK:\nYou've never let me down.\nF:\nWe can't afford to let you down.\nK:\nWell, you're a great friend.\nF:\nTell, me, how are things going. Pretty rough.\nK:\nIt's a difficult period but I think we can manage.\nF:\nGood. Well fine, I know that you have and I've been trying to do my best\nto keep things in control. By the way, when Jack was here we had a good\nvisit.\nK:\nHe told me.\nF:\nLet me say this to you Henry. I XXXXX have my contacts in the overseas\nwhere I'm able to talk to anyone of the party members directly. You\nknow I have that ddvantage because of my relationship over there."
