Telecon Senator Fulbright 1/24/70 10:00 a. m. F: I forgot last night, that's Lincoln's birthday weekend. The dates I had here were the 6th, 7th, and 8th. Are any of those free for you? Do they interfere with your social life? K: They may, as a matter of fact. What will it be, about an hour? F: Not over an hour and a half. This first meeting is just sort of to get acquainted. Whether we do it any more depands on how you react to it. K: Well, in principle it's something I'm eager to do. I'd like to main- tain contact, if we can work it out in a way that stays on a personal basis. How about 5:00 on Thursday the 5th? F: At my house? K: Yes, that's what Bryce Harlow ruled as the way F: Whatever you say. K: Why don't we say you asked me to come by for drinks? F: Yes, that's the way it is. K: You're free to invite whoever you want. F: What I had in mind was: Sparkman, the ranking Democrat. Invite Mansfield-- he probably can't come (leadership roles and such) but I ought to ask him. Ask Gore--he's - - the second man down--he won't be able to come. That would leave Church and Symington. K: So it would be Sparkman, Church and Symington? F: Plus myself, then Aiken. Mundt is in the hospital, SO Aiken and Case. K: Find. How about Cooper? F: Yes. It would be good to have him if you think SO. K: Yes. But it's your party. Nobody you've mentioned would bother me.
