Jackson: No, just non-market states.
Kissinger: How would it apply to East Europe?
Jackson: It's the same for all of them.
Kissinger: How about Romanians?
Jackson: You would have to seek some assurances. The Romanians say they won't have any problem.
President: Supposing Romania performs and the Soviet Union doesn't. How would we handle that?
Jackson: We would work that out.
Javits: Abe and I talked to Ceausescu and he said it was no problem. I think they stopped because the Soviet Union didn't want them to set bloc policy. The PRC isn't yet an issue.
Kissinger: Because they want to keep MFN from the Soviet Union. Scoop has a great future in the PRC.
Jackson: They say the threat will come through Europe. Chou wants to talk to Mansfield on this.
Javits: The complaint in the Jewish community is that the Soviet Union has cut the rate and they should restore the rate before we move to show good faith. I said no. The same on the high visibility trials. They also fear numbers, as a possible quota. I don't buy this because with artful language we can make it okay.
Jackson: We don't want a bilateral agreement between West Germany and the Soviet Union to affect this. This argument is for about 1000 a month. We wouldn't want any other agreements to count against this quota.
President: I am worried about the language. I would prefer blanket authority with a right to cut off.
Let's get the technicians together and see if we can't work it out.
Jackson: This is so designed that Congress has to retain some authority.
