 The Romanians want a much shorter time.

The East Europeans want permanent machinery because they want to be able to monitor the Soviets.

One of the results of CSCE is that it has brought the East Europeans into equal status with other countries.

Is a summit likely to be in July?

Yes. I think the chances are two out of three that it will be unless the Soviets change their tactics. They are dribbling out concessions.

Stage II should really be settled in two weeks if the summit is to be in July.

It really would kill the Geneva industry. We will need a public works program for all the diplomats who have been so busy with CSCE.

How long should we allow for the CSCE summit? Five days is very long. There will be 35 speeches.

The more time you allow, the longer the speeches will be. Maybe we should plan to arrive on Monday in the afternoon or evening, and then work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and into Friday.

At the OECD meeting in Paris, I got rid of 20 speeches in one morning. Your's was long though, Henry.

It will lose luster if the speeches are too long.

Yes, like at the UN.

So maybe it would be arriving on Monday, and then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Will it all be wrapped up at that point or will there still have to be negotiations?

No. There would be valedictory speeches only.

You know that the Turks don't want Makarios to be there, but Denktash.
