Thank you very, very much for meeting with me. I know you are busy.

Not for our good friends. I am so sorry to hear about the President's father-in-law.

Under no circumstances will there be a deal. We had a problem over Leonhardt.

Any idea who is behind it?

They say it was four toughs of the left. Our concern is he is an old man.

Last night I saw a tape of your press conference. I was pleased to see how well informed you are. I am not an expert on inflation but your answer on the OAS shows you are very well informed by Secretary Kissinger on foreign relations. Henry has a certain relationship with me. When he wants to know about Latin America he calls me.
