Why doesn't\nK have his people prepare a Q and A on Vietnam - - sort of the obvious\nquestions people are going to ask. The P said he could say he had pre-\npared some briefing material that would be useful in your hearings.\nK said they would think K had put him up to it, whereas if the P writes\na letter\nThe P said he would be glad to write a letter, but he\nthought. K said he should cover two points: 1) ceasefire, and 2)\nthe commitment to Vietnam. The P said he thinks he should say he\nhas a plan that we aren't discussing, in the letter also. The P said\nyes, maybe the letter's a better idea--I think maybe you're right,\njust a little note. The P said he wouldn't need it until Tuesday, if K\ncould have it up by Monday afternoon it would be plenty of time.\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."
