R: I talked with Jos. Sisco yesterday and told him the number he gave me is not satisfactory.

K: At whose initiative?

R: What?

K: Who took the initiative for the talk?

R: I told him that first reaction to talk --

K: Did he call you or did you ask to see him?

R: We had a talk at his initiative when I came back. The date after, on Mon. I said the day before yesterday in the evening when I got the reaction from home that it's very unsatisfactory. Then I had an x idea that since we signed yesterday PL 480 agreement with countries for ____ million dollars for agriculture we are together. I explained if something not done for more planes it would not work. He asked me to come in 3/4 of an hour.

K: OK. I have talked here and there is no question that we will follow the schedule you and I discussed and it will be ordered early next week. We have already informally mentioned that to him.

R: All right. Anyhow we have no intention to take any position until I see you tomorrow.

K: At 9:30. Don't take any position because there is a lot going on.

M: I wanted to give you a progress report so you are up to date.

K: I am being selfish.

M: Sometimes but not usually. Bill talked with me. He is all for this. I told him as I mentioned to you that he had certain interests there which are still not completely -- in negotiation to a degree and presumably end would be Feb. 8-9. I agreed it would be better not to announce until after that day. If that's all right with you, I would feel better. Less likely to get what you have just gone through. If any delay in that, I will be back to you but since only a few weeks, it's best. Going ahead.

K: I will be visiting Spain.

M: State visit?

K: They can't screw up my arrival more than they did for the President.

M: Maybe stop on way back from China. Just wanted to bring you up to date.

K: Before going into effect we will work out memo of cooperation. A separate channel for Pat but that's between her and me. Back channel to the backchannel.

K: Have you seen what your clients have perpetrated in S. Francisco? The
Japanese Consul handed out 6 questions, specifically with Ronald Reagan proving
he raised them with the Govt. "And U.S. bypass ? ? ? ? ? ? Japanese have
impression that Nixon have a strong sense of ? ? ? ? ? . In spite of off-setting
? ? ? ? ? ? ? rapproachment with China approve ? ? ? ? ? ? "

J: Could you LDX it? I am seeing Ushiba in a few minutes.

K: The questions themselves as raised with you in confidence are one thing. But
to give them to Ronald Reagan is impossible improper. After San Clemente
when we practically gave him stuff made available only to Anderson is ridiculous.
The President pulled out everything.

J: I thoroughly agree. To Reagan and others?

K: I will read you the note. Given prior to the lunch at S. Clemente.
"? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ". Copy give to Rogers.

J: This is the first I have heard. I will take it up right away. LDX it right
over to me.
