President: We tried some new provisions!
Callaghan: The marvelous thing is how they worked. What a tough thing for you. How is President Nixon?
President: He is doing all right. I talked to him ten days ago. He is very interested in foreign affairs.

Callaghan: It is very nice to have talked with you.
President: Likewise. I am looking forward to meeting the Prime Minister.
Callaghan: I wish you success -- for your and our sakes.
President: I am enjoying it.
Callaghan: Anything we can do, we would be happy to try.
President: Some of our critics may say differently, but Secretary Kissinger has at least as strong a role with me as before. You tell everyone that is the way it is and the way it will stay.
Callaghan: I will. There are people who will do that -- they have between him and me.
On Cyprus, you got a lot of criticism. But we couldn't have stopped the Turks, whatever he did. I reproach myself for not bringing a proposal forward earlier, but no one could have stopped the Turks.
President: Is it going to be OK?
Callaghan: If the Turks are willing to reduce their troops and the Greeks will agree to a federal solution and its implications, we will be on the way.
