Dear Jack:
n
I think the meeting was healthy and the disagreements there
were dispassionate and I think objective. Most of us feel
you do have the picture. Thanks for attending.
When I talked to you a few days prior to the meeting I was
confident that the President's Vietnam-Foreign Policy
position speech would be greeted with great enthusiasm. I'm
afraid I exaggerated. I still think it was his best speech,
certainly the most important.
With kindest personal regards,
Sincerely,
am
Clarke Reed, Chairman
