R said it looked pretty good in the papers. K\nsaid it worked out pretty well and said it was a delicate operation. K\nsaid we are trying to set it up for getting tough later on.\nK said we are seeing the Latin Americans tomorrow. He said the\nPresident's intention was to be cool -- to mention that he doesn't think\nthis is the way to improve relations. K asked R if he wanted the President\nto be warmer.

R said Watts was doing a good job for us\nin the urban area for the State but if Watts wants to go to Washington, he\nwould not stop him. K asked R if he would recommend him. R said to tell\nthe truth he really doesn't know him. R said Al Marshall says he is doing\nan excellent job with black groups. K said he saw him during R's campaign\nand Watts was impressive. R said he wasn't saying anything more because\nhe personally didn't have the knowledge about Watts but added that everybody\nthinks very highly of him.\nK said \"that Colonel I have is absolutely first class but he is killing himself. 11\nR asked why don't you get General Parker. K said \"but then I would lose\nmy Colonel because the General would outrank him. 11 R said why don't\nReproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library\nDECLASSIFIED\nThis document has been reviewed pursuant to Executive Order 13526 and has been determined to be declassified."
