Telcon - President
-4-
P: The Post is lawful, but they still run Joe Alsop.
K: They run Alsop because he is the most popular. The Post is an
organ of the National Democratic Committee.
P: I told Sulzberger I thought his three editorials were very helpful
and I hope they were read in Hanoi.
K: I had a letter from Carl Kaysen who three months ago wrote me

P: I have the same feeling. I think he will look too carping if he continues.

We have public support we didnt't have before. This is much broader
than November 3.
K: On November 3 you stood against the tide.
P: Now we have a lot of intellectuals with us.
K: This speech gave them a good excuse to come over. What made them
waver is that Cambodia was obviously working. The success on the Middle
