The time is so short. When we talk about a barrier, we talk about 500 miles, we can always take it at 300 miles if you have to. We can take it late in the afternoon, the question would be if there is any message we would send to U Thant to give them a way out. What we might do, we might get up a draft of something tonight. Let me just read you what we sent him last night, what you sent him last night.
Ball reads the letter.
He had this in front of him when he, this looks as if he wrote it himself, saying in effect, talking about it in the Security Council . . . . This is a letter coming back and saying that he can't do it. I don't think there is anything we can say to him that will cause him to change. We are saying not to send them and he is going to send them. Whether U Thant gives him a way out or not, I don't know.
