K: I read about you all the time.
L: You're the only guy I know who talks to Kraft.
K: I haven't seen him in 6 weeks. Actually I thought it was a plus.
L: It's wrong. I'm calling about the budget thing. I talked to Mayo
today. Schlesinger and he got 16 items they want me to look over in the
71 budget. I think I should avoid it.
K: Right. We've got a meeting on Saturday morning.
L: You told me over two weeks ago
hexagon is his big one.
K: Everyone I've talked to wants Hexagon, don't you?
L: Sure-- don't think we should
it up again. We've
affected one million jobs. I shouldn't talk with Mayo.
K: I agree; I'11 back you up.
L: We've got military civilian personnel we're laying off. We're
going to have an effect. We're going down next year another 4. 5 billion.
K: I'll tell the P I'm behind you. I will tell him we have to to get
back down there. He doesn't like Schlesinger anyway.
L: I think he read the story this morning and believed it.
K: If that committee serves only one function it's to help you, not Mayo.
I think of myself as your ally.
L: I was afraid you weren't cranked in on this.
K: I wasn't.
L: Rogers must have read the story and gotten carried away by it.
K: The P was amused by it; he didn't pay any attention to it. He thought
it was a plus. It will give you some attention for what you've been doing.
L: I don't need that Hind of attention.
