can do this for L. If he needs him, he will call him to come back.
K said we couldn't ask Laird for any more -- he is persuaded of
that. L said if he were asked, he could stretch the additional
$200 million on Safeguard; he could slow down Poseidon -- but he
doesn't think this is the time to do this. They are the only things
in the strategic area. K added it would hurt us on SALT. K mentioned
that when he had seen LBJ on Tuesday, LBJ said this Administration
has cut $11 billion out of his budget, and he couldn't imagine where
it could come from without endangering the national security. L
mentioned also that he doesn't know where the money for the April
pay increase would come from. K said in conclusions that Laird
had gotten the JCS to submit an honest budget which is more than
McNamara had done. If the JCS gets the feeling they are being
clobbered on top of it, we'll never get another honest budget again.
K repeated that he would talk with the President when he is free --
he will tell him that Laird will not agree to anything else and that
he (K) agrees with him.
