SIDENT, OFFICE OF Johnson Admin. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Victnom MEMORANDUM FOR: Dr. Newland Dorothy Territo ADMINISTRATION Lois Nivens Mary Rather ADMINISTRATIVE Mildred Stegal MEMO Bill Jorden Juanita Roberts FROM TOM JOHNSON President Johnson has repeatedly asked for us to locate a memorandum which was sent to him by Secretary McNamara urging the initiation of bombing in North Vietnam. At this stage, Lois Nivens, Bill Jorden and I have not been able to locate it. President Johnson remembers that the memo was placed in the middle drawer of his small office in Washington (the one ajoining the oval office adjacent to Jina Jones.) Would each of you search your memories and any files you may be familiar with to see if it could have been placed in them. It is possible that this memorandum was taken from the desk and put with other memorandums which have not yet been sorted. In any case, this has first priority and we should board it from every angle possible. In particular, President Johnson wants Lois Nivens to call Bromley Smith and Dorothy Territo to search everything that was taken from the office prior to leaving on January 20. August 6, 1969
