    "ocrText": "Telecon\nSecretary Laird\n4:00 p. m.\n9/12/69\nK said the President talked to Abrams and McCain after lunch. Abrams\nmentioned the menu and he told me to tell you that he wanted to go\nahead with one more series. He wanted to see recommendations on a\nregular basis. Given their problems last week I wanted to make sure\nyou knew. Laird thought it was handled poorly last week. He could\nhave saved the disaster. K told the President this morning that it was\na complete goof. I don't know why, but I had in my mind when you called\nthat you were on the way to the airport. L said Abrams had gone to\nThieu himself that morning. It was an order of the President but it is\nmy job to keep him from giving orders that would have\nadverse implications.\nOn the Green Baret report this was the situation. Haldeman, Ehrlichman\nand Harlow feel it would be a disaster to let this go forward. They have\nsiad this to the President. I am to talk to Resor. Resor gave the record\nto Ehrlichman and it was supposed to be held until Ehrlichman can pass\njudgment. L said they have the idea we chan change the report of the\nGenerals. K said only the President or L could stopit. on the basis\nof national security. L said the confessions are very detailed as you\nknow. He actually did it. K said it was a lousy record., and wondered\nXXXXX what CIA was doing. L said CIA gave a backgrounder to the\npress. K indicated that the President was very unhappy about that and\nhad K call Helms on it. L didn't know that but knew that Mullenhoff\nhad been talking to people about it. K said he would shut him off\nimmediately. K asked ifL could hold it until Monday. K didn't call\nL back because he didn't have anything on it and was waiting for\nEhrlichman's recommendation. L was going to call Ehrlichman and\nsee if he had the confessions and if he didn't would send them over.\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."
