[0:11] Mr.
[0:33] This memorandum has been what it's just given to Mr.
[0:34] I don't know how complex they're handling groups in the way.
[0:36] I don't know what I've just given him.
[0:36] He talked to Ronald Reagan, and he raised three points that we'd like to do a look into.
[0:38] One, the Irish Airlines found where it may even be a bit too rigid and too rough in order to get
[0:41] Right.
[1:03] Right.
[1:04] He also mentioned that back when I was part of the field, I told him I was staying in the field.
[1:22] The field has two parts to these, but we're making that happen.
[1:24] One has the British, the Australian, the French, and the Germans, and it could be brought in, too.
[1:26] nuclear defense problems that they have up to this point.
[1:46] This is a very sensitive matter, as we know, but at least we should be prepared to discuss it with Bill.
[1:48] The other point is one that, uh, that, uh, before we go to
[1:49] the European Security Conference, that we should get together on our side with the British, the French, and the Germans, and develop a line that is a standpoint that will be united and effective, having in mind the fact that the Soviets will be pushing their line very, very hard.
[2:17] Right, and I see that.
[2:18] If you pass through Washington with this way of a hand, this will, uh, probably on the weekend before, but on the call, so to be, at that time, this will open the door for other foreign ministers to see.
[2:43] Certainly, at least, at the very least, we should see.
[2:45] We'll make a new question.
[2:46] I want to keep the number of foreign visitors I see down to a bare minimum.
[3:11] You, my name, can be justified on the basis of my personal friendship.
[3:12] Seeing him, it occurred to me that I might do it for breakfast, or possibly for the two-hour trip on Sequoia.
[3:14] In any event, you were the call for the date.
[3:16] A limited number of voicemails.
