NASON said he had talked to DON who said the negotiation had\nnot been completed yet but that T. V. (SOONG) had asked for it. Also that\nT. V. has sent word to the Ambassador to negotiate a 3-c agreement, and\nDON has some thoughts on that. They speculate on how long T. V. will be\nin Moscow and YOUNGMAN said \"we\" can check with the people who control\nthe movements of the plane. YOUNGMAN then said he hasn't been able to\nsee (DWIGHT) PALMER about the 30,000 tons of stock pile and YOUNGMAN\nsaid he wants to talk to CORCORAN about it before he talks to PALMER.\nYOUNGMAN also said that ZOBEL (phonetic) and his crowd, including STARR\n(phonetic) have agreed to go ahead and sell advertising at the 100,000\nrate starting with the January issue and STARR is going to \"talk to his\nfriends in the funny-shaped building\" about it. YOUNGMAN said that\nZOBEL wants \"us\" to write a legal opinion to the effect that it is all\nright for him to print 40,000 in the Argentina and Swedish papers and\nYOUNGMAN wants NASON to check the latest regulations about exports etc.\nto see if there is anything in there which would prevent ZOBEL from so\ndoing. NASON will do so. YOUNGMAN asked if anything had developed on\nLEVER and NASON said \"they\" (CORCORAN and WORTH CLARK ?) \"went over!!\n(to see ANDERSON at Agriculture ?) during the course of yesterday\nafternoon but that he (NASON) was gone when they got back. YOUNGMAN\nsaid, \"Well, let us pray.\"\n11:45 AM\nMRS. CORCORAN to DICK (RICHARD CUNNINGHAM, JR.) PATTERSON (Ambassador to\nYugoslavia) at State Department, Extension 680. He invited the CORCORANS\nto dinner tonight and asked them to have BEN COHEN come along. They\nwill meet at the Carlton, where PATTERSON is staying, at 7:30 P.M.\n12:06 PM\nCORCORAN unable to reach SAM O'NEAL at the National Democratic Committee.\nHe is in New York at the Biltmore after 3:00 this afternoon.\n12:12 PM\nCORCORAN to (JOE) PANUCH at RE 7500, Extension 5131. PANUCH said he called\nCORCORAN the other day to \"tell you that our friend GEORGE (BOWDEN ?)\nreally stuck his neck out. Do you know what he did? He wrote to the SEC\nasking them to review the JOE SISTO case.\"\nC - Oh, GOD ALMIGHTY! Wrote?\nP - Wrote! That's the dope I get on fairly credible evidence from the SEC.\nI understand it's all over the place up there.\nC - Well didn't the guy have sense enough to send it back?\nP - I don't know. You know what happens on these mail and distribution\nsystems. It gets stamped in and ear-marked and charged out and by\nthat time, cripes, you've got a perfect record. You've got to\ndown the Commission to send back the letter, you know. I'll tell you,\nTOM, I don't know how much good it does to talk to GEORGE on this\nstuff because he did a dopy thing like that by sending a couple of\nphonies to (LEO) CROWLEY, you see, and CROWLEY sent em down to\nvarious fellows in the Export Control Division there, and my God,\nit took me two weeks to dig these fellows out and when I told him,\ntold GEORGE, that he should never deal with these phonies on this\nstuff, well, my God, he argued with me. He claimed some guy who"
