I was asked if you mentioned it to me at lunch because\nthey thought you had. I said no. They understand that Amb. Davis is not --\nthe WH has a question about him. We ought to begin moving on it and instead\nit\nof would be easier if I called you.\nK: The President didn't like Davis.\nI: I have a comment but go ahead.\nK: For a XEXSON number of reasons, one of which I would rather tell you\npersonally.\nI: OK. There are reasons why you need tell me. Apparently there are two\nDavis'\nK: Dick and Nat. I wanted to check out first that there wasn't a misapprehension\nI: Bill Macomber thinks there may be a mistake in identity. Dick Davis was\nAmbassador to Rumania and Nat in Bulgaria.\nI\nK: The initial reason was premised on mistaken identity.\nI:\nThat's what Bill thought because he knew of the problem with Dick.\nK: There are other problems xxx not on mistaken identity. I would rather talk to\nyou in person. I will be in the Department tomorrow and I will stop xit in.\nI: Fine.\nsuggestion\nK: I have a that has come to me. I don't know the name -- Bodler.\nI: Bill Boudler. Davis and Boudler were at the top of our list. Charlie Meyer\nand I knew Boudler and Alec and Meyer and someone elee knew Davis. They\nthought they were the same. The others who knew both said they were equal\nbut that they would give balance because of Iron Curtain country experience to\nDavis.\nK: I have no preference escept for one item which came up independently. It\ndid come to the President.\nI: I want to move ahead on the overall thing and get something moving.\nK: Don't forget Vaky."
