Mendel Silberberg called:
1. Still wants to bring in the Consul General of Israel when RN
has a chance to shake hands - I told him we would
be in touch with him when RN was finished with his
writing commitment and could work out appointments
in the office.
2. Silberberg said he was not pushing - obviously the man is pushing
him but that he just wanted to have an answer.
However, he thinks a brief handshake might be a good
idea.
On the governorship -- He said only history can prove whether it is right
or wrong to run and no one can tell now - either way there will be something
which might make you think the other way later.
He said - there is certain advantage in this governorship. I am a little bit
afraid to bet that this man in Washington can be beaten in 1964 because the
American people seem to re-elect a man unless there is some reason not
to. Heavens knows if the election were held today there would be no doubt
that RN would win but when it comes to 1964 it may be different.
Whether RN can carry himself in the public eye for almost
six years is a difficult thing to say -- and even more difficult to do.
jkx I am glad I don't have to make the decision.
