Louisa Kennedy's Notes on the "discussion with Helmut Schmidt"
These are notes Louisa made on Barbara Rosen's meeting with Louisa Kennedy's Notes on the discussion with Helmut Schmidt.
Helmut Schmidt feels won't work to solve the crisis: sanctions, President Carter's lack of policy stance, Western powers and families trying to influence Iran, threats and apologies.
Helmut Schmidt suggestions to end crisis: gain bipartician support, involve the families in decision making, find fresh ideas, advocate a policy of calm and patience in U.S., get press to advocate for calm and patience.
