-2- I would want to do it to. L said, here is my problem. We have everyone aboard on this second increment. K said, as an old pro, let me tell you what is in the President's mind. He is not going to reopen the issue. He wants an excuse to delay it until after that. L said I am afraid this has an effect on the momentum of what we have going on in Vietnam. The Joint Chiefs and everyone else would like to have an opportunity to have a second crack at this. K said I can tell you there will be no change. If anything, it will go upward, not downward. L said I think we are giving the people the impression that we don't have a program and I don't want to do that. I think we should giveNVN and SVN an understanding that we have a program. K said I told the President what you had in mind and he says he just has to do it his way. L said I think the meeting is absolutely necessary, important and we should have more of those. My problem on it is that I get pressed by Bill Rogers. He feels that I am responsible for holding up this announcement. Today, he called me and I said I am ready to go but I think the President has something else in mind and I think we should discuss it when we are out at the Cabinet meeting. K said we will make sure that this will get straightened out. I can assure you there will be no change on the second increment. L said Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library DECLASSIFIED This document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified.
