Governor Connally
11/25/70 11:35 a. m.
K: I habe been talking to the President about the problem of how
to keep you more currently informed and also get the benefit of your
thinking on some matters. If you are willing the President would be
pleased for you to join the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. Per-
haps you know this group from the Johnson Administration. This is
almost the only board in the foreign field that does any serious work.
They meet about once a month, well they average meeting about every
six weeks. They have access to a great deal of classified stuff and
they give us a chance to get more. Our intelligence system is in a
mess and we need some tough minds working on it.
C: I'd be delighted to do it.
K: Marvelous. The next meeting of the Board is on December
2 and 3. If you are able to come, the President is anxious to have an
appointment with you to talk to you alone.
C: It will be difficult for me, if not impossible, to make it. I
have a speech in Boca Raton and then a black tie dinner in New York
that night and then the next morning I have a board meeting of U. S.
Tursu that I must attend.
K: No, it's the 3rd and 4th.
C: Oh! Then I can certainly make part of it. I could come in the
afternoon of the third and be there the fourth.
K: Good. Let's plan on that. You can't come for lunch on the
3rd? I am meeting with the Board then and expressing our concerns
about the intelligence community.
C: No, I cannot. This is a very critical meeting of U.S. Trust.
I deeply regret it.
K: Okay. We can fill you in on it.
C: I'11 see what I can do, but I can't really hold out hope for
lunch on the thid. We are restructuring some of the offices of the Board
and I ought to be there.
K: We'll schedule an appointment with the President for you on the
fourth. But just if you will not tell your colleagues on the Board about your
appointment with the President because he is not seeing any of them.
C: Very good. I understand and will do that.
