MEMORANDUM FEB 2 7 1973 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 26, 1973 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. JOHN EHRLICHMAN FROM: BRUCE KEHRLI SUBJECT: Dairy Price Support and Cheese Imports Attached is the background information on the Dairy Price Support and Cheese Imports decision. As you can see, it indicates that the President chose Option 2 of the Stein memo and this was the decision that I transmitted to Herb Stein, George Shultz and Secretary Butz. Today, however, I received a call from Secretary Butz and Bill Morrill of OMB, both of whom said that you had indicated that the President had chosen Option 3. Obviously, there is some confusion on this issue and, although I reiterated the point that Option 2 had been chosen to Secretary Butz and Morrill, I promised that I would get back to them after checking with you. Would you please advise. Bruce: Option II - is from Butz musunderstood He's sorry. 2.27.73 Than
