Good morning, how are you? OK. Well you know I want to express my own personal fe I understand. On - I don't know whether Haig has explained to you what these fellows want to do. derstand. Their conviction is that you are now convinced that there must be a settlement. Strangely enough I just told it to Haig that it seems that those who carried out the action in Munich succeeded beyond their expectations. + +++ overture to you was not an accident and so on and so forth. Did he put it this way in the meeting? Oh yes, when you come over I'll show you something. Fine.
