K\nsaid Healy told him he was impressed, and what K picks up here is\nvery favorable. R said he thought it was worthwhile; the meeting in\nRome was especially successful and useful.\nR said about the meeting of the Defense Review Committee today at\n2:30; is it on the question of phase two of ABM? K said no, it's a\ngeneral review. R said he asked because he's come back more than\never convinced that it's important we bend every effort to head off?\n[the Mansfield resolution ? ]. R said he's heard that Aiken agrees to\ncosponsor, and R thinks he should go up to see Aiken and ask Alex\nto go to this meeting. Would that be okay? K said he are having a\ntough time getting Defense to cooperate. K said he wanted to get\nsome issues on the table. K said he would be delighted to see Alex,\nbut his major concern is to see some principles established. R said,\nyou'd like me to be there? K said yes. R said Johnson is working\nmore directly with Defense currently than R is. J is setting up a\nway to deal with these things on a day-to-day basis. R said he's got\nto take time to talk with Senators about the NATO situation--R thinks\nit's of key priority. K said he couldn't promise that this would be a\ngreat meeting--he just wants to establish some principles. R said\nask\nhe thought he would XEND Johnson to go. K said he thought R would\nbe tending in that direction. K said he hoped to see R soon. They\nagreed to have breakfast on Saturday.\nR said meanwhile, on the NSDM on US policy toward Greece--Seamans\nis due to visit Athens before Tasca it to arrive--he's due to be there\nWednesday. R said we think it important that a policy statement not be\nmade by Seamans, but by Tasca when he gets there. K said he didn't\nthink Seamans should get into it. R said it's important to tell him not\nto. The only alternative is to tell him not to go to Athens, and that\nmay be going further than necessary. K said we would tell him that\nif asked he should say our Ambassador will discuss that.\nR said they are also concerned about the possibility of leak on this\ndocument, especially in light of paragraph 2--the first part shouldn't\nget into critical hands. K said he would have to see what distribution\nit gets; what's its classification. R said Secret/Nodis; it was distributed\nat State to the Secretary, R, Johnson, Samuels,\nand the\nSecretariet. R said they could try to hold x it down.\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
