K was sorry he hadn't seen E but he'd been working about 18 hours a
day. And handling it quite well, E said. K said he always had to see
the people who are soft and weak and E doesn't belong to those.
E said he wanted to talk about the books he is trying to put out--he is
having trouble on that front. E hopes the President has got that book
E sent him, talking about the impact of television on American culture.
E wanted to talk with K about a few things before he goes to see Joel
Blocker. K said he thought E could be as informative on himself as
anybody else. E said he had done this before and SO has Kraemer.
K said E should tell Blocker whatever he thinks best.
E said he thought he could be helpful on how K developed and what had
been happening to him. E said K has had the broadest background of
anybody who could have been picked out, and his foreign policy interests
made him an exceptionally good choice. K said, and philosophical inter-
ests.
E said those books he is writing, he's got two finished and would be glad
to put them into K's hands. One of the 11
bases of American
Foreign Policy" and "The Fruits of False Freedom, 11 on the SDS, black
power, and weathermen, etc.
K said E had been such an important influence on K's life. E hopes to
continue to be. E said Louise asked E to send K her love. K said some-
times, E has found things in K--K thought E had lost his mind. E said
there had never been a time when there was a worse needfor someone
to set the tone, and K is doing it well. E said that he thinks K is using
the Vice President brilliantly. K said he would go easy on that with
Blocker.
K said the one thing he doesn't discuss is his divorce. E said the only
thing he could say about that is that is helped to deepen him. E went
through it himself--it is a testing experience. E said he had written K
about his happiness that K keeps in touch with the children. K said he
adores them--he doesn't just do that out of duty. That's one of things
that E hopes K will continue in. K said he feels very strongly about E.
E said some day he wants to talk with K about the seminar--they were
going to disperse all the records, and that's stupid.
