D: Well, I will check it. "Horizon T" -- in Russian or in English he says?

K: In English, "Horizon T."

D: It was said "Horizon T"?

K: Yes.

D: Okay, I will check it out with trade people.

K: And if we could buy it here, we'd be grateful.

D: No -- Okay, that is no problem. And second, Henry, when we will be on Thursday, maybe you have a chance on a very private basis to think maybe about what kind of things --

K: On Ivanov?

D: No, no; not Ivanov. It still stands of course.

K: No, no; on Ivanov, I have an answer for you.

D: Yeah, you will have. But I think maybe because the President would like to make some presents, you know, but maybe you have some ideas.

K: Well, let's talk about that on Thursday.

D: Okay. We have to exchange mutual ideas on this.

D: Yes, I understand. Okay, Henry, so 1:15.

K: Good. Wonderful.

D: Yes. Bye, bye.

D: Oh, hello, Henry.

K: Thank God. What do you do, make me ring 10 minutes?

D: Oh, excuse me, I was in a different room, you see. Henry, excuse me, but I forgot to mention because he specifically asked me to convey his warmest regards to the President and he said he is looking very much to meet him personally in June. And second, the same for you and he hoped to see you in April.

K: Thank you very much.

D: And that was specifically emphasized twice and I just forgot to tell you so it's my fault.

K: No, but the spirit of your comments made it quite clear.

D: Yeah, definitely. But he make it very specifically, that's why I --

K: I can tell you for him that we are really looking forward to this and the President has already told me many times that he hopes that this visit will be a great success. And I mentioned to him the invitation of coming to the Soviet Union next year.

D: Yeah.

K: And he was extremely pleased.

D: No, I think *this* will be what's going to happen really. Okay, Henry.

K: Good, Anatol, I have one minor thing. The White House photographer was very impressed by a Russian camera which is called Horizon T.

D: Yes.

K: And he would like to buy it.

D: A photographer?

K: Yes. It's a photographer -- he takes all the pictures for the President.

D: Oh, I see. This is called 'Horizon.'

K: Yeah. He says it is the best camera for a wide picture anywhere in the world.

K: Dick, how the hell did I get into that goddamn thing?

C: I couldn't possibly ruin your social life. (laughter)

K: You are ruining my goddamned social life!!

C: Listen, on tomorrow morning, the only problem I have -- don't bring a notetaker, will you? This is the President's private little ____ so to speak.

K: Okay. Are you coming with me?

C: Yeah, I'll meet you up there. If you can wing by the White House at 10 of 8:00 or 5 of 8:00, I'll ride on up with you.

K: Okay, I'll wing by the White House at 10 of 8:00. Now, listen, what the hell am I supposed to say?

C: Not a goddamned thing. Just sit there and have breakfast and ramrodding questions and there's never been known to have been a leak out of there.

K: Well, I would much prefer to say -- Listen, you guys, ask me questions rather than make me make a speech.

C: No speech. They don't want it. None, zero.

K: All right, if they're going to take that attitude, I just won't come at all.

C: (laughter)

K: It's all right for me to be coy but it's quite different for them to be snooty.

C: No, no; these are your type of guys. I've never screwed you yet, you know that.

K: I'd like to know what you consider my kind of guys. Where is it?

C: (laughter) The Capitol Hill Club.

K: Okay. I need you then to take me there. I'll be here at a quarter till 8:00.

C: Quarter till 8:00. Okay.

K: Good. Bye. Meet me in the Lobby.
