morning
5/23/70
E: On your talk, don't dwell so much on the point that the President is right.
Not on the ifs, ands, or buts. shortening the war. good and successful. Wants
you to be direct and strong. He felt you would be embarrased if he told you
this directly. (This last in response to Mr. K's "I don't see him enought that
he couldn't tell me this directly. ") He wants you to raise thelevel of the stock
market 50 points. Don't be esoteric.
K: Maybe he would like to send you.
E: I don't know what esoteric means SO I can't go. I'm talking to that bar assoc.
that came down to argue against us. Federal policy and
of envirnment.
K: In retrospect, do you think we should have gone in?
E: Yes, I do. We have lots of solid national support. Domestically, true, we
went through ? ? ? ? ? ? Are you going to get the SVN out?
K: Of course. I just danxxwant to be sure not to sign it in blood so the NVN
won't follow us out yard by yard.
E: It does have a certain amount of neighborhood children at play.
K: I want to give another press briefing.
E:
SANITIZED
K:
E: I ran across a great guy. Magruder in Transportation. He's a really classy
fellow.
K: I need classy guys.
E: He is extremely button down and sharp. I will put you in touch with him. He
is running SST.
K: Is he loyal?
E: Very. He has had combat. He reminds me of Al; e X Butterfield.
K: Let me look into that.
