    "ocrText": "TELECON\nSenator Stennis\n7/1/71 11:30 a. m.\n1\nS: We talked yesterday while I was over at the conference. We got\nthat language. We couldn't handle that; didn't get anywhere. Couldn't get it accept\ned. I don't think it meets the situation at all in the Senate. It's just not enough.\nK: Where does that leave the parliamentary situation?\nS: The situation on the bill? We disposed of all the points/ in issue except\nthe Mansfield amendment. Had all day yesterday on it, but get anywhere.\nI am faced with not being able to give this all my time. I have got to go to\nthe XXX procurement billi. I am expecting as many weeks debate there as\non the other. We are now recessed until Wednesday morning.\nK: Next Wednesday?\nS: Yes, but I just can't stay there morning and afternoon. I have got to\nstart on procurement. We've already done a world of work on it, but we've\ngot to do more. So that's it. X It doesn't look good for progress now.\nYou've got Mansfield's thinking and then the thinking of far to the left of him.\nYou have the Ejecutive view and the House view. What I am thinking of is\novercoming the voting of cloture.\nK: We understand what you are up against.\nS: I just wanted to be sure you did.\nK: We are just trying to keep our negotiating position.\nS: I just have to do the best I can do now and use the best judgment I\nhave along with the other conferees.\nK: But keep in mind that if we can get a negotiation started\nS: Over there?\nK: Yes\nand don't want to do anything to undercut that.\nS: No, we dankt don't. But the time has come that we have got to do\nsomething if we get a bill. And I think you gentlemen should think it over\nin that light.\nK: I'11 talk to McGregor about it.\nS: I'm doing the best I can.\nK: All right."
