    "ocrText": "K said on the first part there is some merit -- the better the people\nare the more directly they want to work with me. K said we are having\nan organization change and I intend to meet with the senior people twice\na week -- three hours will be set aside. L said there is also talk that\nbecause you do not have a deputy there is wasted time and motion.\nK said I have talked to predessors and they told me that it caused\nmore problems. K said for all practical purposes Col. Haig acts as\ndeputy. K said the problem is that this office handles a flood of\nmaterial and we have had to check the organization. L said what\nabout this Haldeman memo? K said I don't comment on internal WH\nmemos and you would not respect me if I did. L said I would respect\nyou if you gave me a copy (laughter). K said the instruction is being\nchanged re talking to reporters. K said senior members of the staff\nwill be able to speak to reporters. L asked why it was being changed.\nK said because I felt I was spending too much time briefing Ziegler.\nL asked K what he could tell him about the meeting tomorrow. K said\nthe meeting is at 9:30. K said Stewart I have treated you well but don't\npush me too hard. L said I am not pushing.\nK said re the story I would not like to have Halperin hurt. K said I have\ntold you the exact truth -- you will see over the coming years.\nL asked if we would have an announcement on troops before the UN\nspeech. K said I don't want to comment on this until we have had the\nmeeting.\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."
