Telecon
Secretary Packard
8:30 a. m. 9/26/69
P had two items on cost reduction program. He indicated that the Chief
of Staff had discussed this with the President about the reductions of
B-52 sorties and tack air.
K said he was there and didn't remember the discussion. K was sure
the President wouldn't agree to the reduction of B-52 sorties, in fact,
he had asked K to see that they were increased. K hadn't done anything
yet because he found this was dependent upon the number of planes
available.
P said thismay be so. Someone had suggested that an announcement be
put out toxths but he didn't agree with that. If the sorties were going to
be reduced it should just be done without an announcement.
K indicated that the President didn't have any particular feeling about
the tac air and probably wouldn't get involved in that.
P was worried the President might say something about this at the
press conference but K assured him that he wasn't aware of the suggestion
and he didn't like to bother him before press conferences SO there would
be no chance of the President mentioning it.
K wanted him to be sure that no instructions went out until he had a chance
to talk to the President about this. P said this would be fine. He was
just in the process of working out how to do this SO it really dasn't been
formulated yet.
