TELCON Director Helms 8:05 p. m. , June 4, 1971 K: I didn't want to bother you now. I cancelled the call but I guess you had already gotten the message. The thing I hadn't realized is that on Monday they are going to surface this whole financing problem. H: I hadn't heard anything about it until just now. K: Is there any way we can keep Symington from doing this? H: I saw Stennis this morning, he didn't know what was going on. K: He says they are going to surface it. H: Who has paid for what. K: And out of whose hands. H: I don't know what we can do with Symington. K: Your calling him and telling him that this is going too far won't work? H: I wish I knew the answer to this. The Senate for the last 2-3 days in Secret Session and what its up to. I saw Stennis today trying to find out. Whether Symington would call it off or not, I don't know. K: Couldn't hurt or can it? H: It has gone pretty far now. Is it going to be that bad? It is unfortunate but SO much damage has been done already, I don't know if it would do any good. What does Mel think? K: I don't know whose side Mel is on. H: That's what worries me too. K: Will you check on this and call me in the morning? H: Yes. K: Fine.
