MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT
Item 3. The letter on the Benton-McCarthy Suit.
The President would like to give this very careful thought
and have it discussed with those in the Administration who
might be called as witnesses. He is anxious to support and
help Senator Benton. He wishes to be sure that the method
suggested--that of personal testimony of high Administration
officials--i this law suit is the right way.
I suggested
that as a first step Mr. Fisher should discuss the matter with
Mr. Charles Murphy and that when they were ready for
their joint recommendations, the President might meet
with some of the principal persons concerned. He thought
this a good way to proceed.
